CONELRAD Curios: Grand Opening
I've always heard that Lords hats were essentially homburgs with raw edges, the Courtney has a welted edge, would that still qualify it as a Lords hat?- CONELRAD

Skills For "Living The Era"
As far as I know, the house is connected to the Arlington city sewers. Personally, and as I said, I'm not a toilet-historian or a plumber, it seems more likely to me that the plumbing issues were caused by the house being taken apart and moved across a lake. Or course they put in new plumbing...- CONELRAD

Skills For "Living The Era"
Here's something interesting that I'm almost ashamed to ask, but I'd very much like to know the answer. And since it involves living in the era, I assume this would be the best place to ask. A friend of my family lives in a very old house, I don't know when it was built, but it was definitely...- CONELRAD

Anyone Like Alternative Golden Era Music?
I especially love western swing, as well as non-swing western and country music, but I generally prefer the 1940s stuff. I liked country and western long before I got into swing and big band. Not a fan of the newer country music, though, I prefer it if it has a steel guitar. Here's an old...- CONELRAD

What are you listening to?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b39ALX4neIk My listening library consists of 80% swing and big band, 15% pre-1960 country and western, and 5% other pre-1960 music. I have all but given up post-1960 music. -
Davis Hat Co.
Well, that's entirely true, but I've been to some forums that say things like, "this thread had been inactive for however many days, are you sure you want to post here?" -
Davis Hat Co.
I'm afraid I'm going to have to revive this thread again after all these years to post this: I picked this up at a Burleson, Texas antique mall for $4.33 in mediocre condition. I've since given it a naphtha bath and a few home repairs to the liner and sweatband. Made, or at least distributed... -

WWII German Postcards
I found these WWII German postcards in the bottom of an old bankers box. I have no ideo how they came into my family's possesion, and I don't know anything more about them than I can tell by looking at them, but I thought you all might find them interesting. I hope this doesn't break the Rules... -
Video games based in the golden era
I recently finished L.A. Noire myself, and I must say that I really enjoyed it. It's nice to play a game that requires one to put some thought into it, rather than just mindless shooting. I can see where some people could be disappointed in some aspects, but I try to enjoy a game for what it is...- CONELRAD

Gold lamp light
I feel certain that the "actual vintage bulb" is fairly old, but I never thought it to be earlier than the 1940s, it came with that little Bakelite lamp thing, and I know that that doesn't mean a thing, but it's not a new bulb, it's fairly worn. It certainly isn't new. I'm also well aware that...- CONELRAD

Show us your SHOES !!!
I received my first pair of vintage shoes today: NOS seven-eyelet 1940s Weyenberg Massagic cap toes. The color is sort of a dark brown burgundy. The soles look appear to have minor wear, but they're actually unused. Here's the insole: And of course the always important "feet shot". Not to...- CONELRAD

Post New Hats Here!
After some further research, I've concluded that Davis was a small time hatter in Dallas, established in 1900 as indicates on the liner. There's also a thread here on the Fedora Lounge that I missed the first time around: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?4757-Davis-Hat-Co.&. Its... -
Gold lamp light
Today, I was at Home Depot for some naphtha to clean my newest hat, and on my way out, I happened to see this: It comes in 40W and 60W, as you can see, I bought the 40W version. Here you can see the new bulb compared to an actual vintage bulb, note the filament. The new bulb actually seems...- CONELRAD

Post New Hats Here!
Anyone Ever Heard of Davis Hats? My latest acquisition, a Davis 6X. By the style and construction, I'm estimating it to be pre-1955, probably 1940s. The crown is 4 3/4 inches and the brim is 2 3/4 inches. It's not in fantastic shape, as you can see, it's got a green spot on the front of the...
