Diamonds in the Golden Era
This is a bit late to the thread, but I thought it might be of interest to someone out there. Diamond advertisement from the back of the 1930 World Almanac:- CONELRAD

Show us your TIES
Both of my knot-planned ties measure 14 3/4 inches from the tip to the beginning of the knot section, but I'm sure there would be some variation. The ties are 51 1/2 and 53 1/2 inches long.- CONELRAD

Old gas stations
I recently returned from a little excursion to Jefferson, Texas, where they have, I believe, more of those old gas stations still standing than I've ever seen in one area, though most have been converted for other uses. That first one has been walled in, but has a (presumably original) Humble...- CONELRAD

Golden Era Things You've Revived Or Repaired For Use
While it's not as grand as some of the work you folks have done here, I fixed up this 1920s or 30s "Eagle" cast-iron lamp for use. I'd been wanting one of these lamps, and I found this one for a fair price, so I bought it to see what I could do to improve it. It looked like it had spent...- CONELRAD

Gramophones, Phonographs, Victrolas....
Vitanola, thank you for your response and advice. Regarding the angle of the reproducer, by my measurement, the needle hits the record at about a 70 degree angle, and it's turned as far forward as it can be. As for the isolator bushing, I'm fairly certain it's original to the machine. If you... -
Gramophones, Phonographs, Victrolas....
Several months ago, I got this beautiful 1926 Victor VV 4-4 "Granada" along with all the original storage albums full of the first owner's record collection. Though most of the records show signs of being played frequently, few have visible groove wear, a testament to the record-preserving... -

Boater faction!
I just got this Wormser "Sterling Quality" boater at a local antique store. I had seen it there several times, but it was in rough condition and their price was too high. However, when I went in yesterday they had lowered the price, and I had been looking for a boater, so I decided to take a... -
Counting Your Change...
Although I can't claim to have found these in my pocket, they are a bit out of the ordinary. Mid-1930s sales tax tokens from Alabama and Louisiana.- CONELRAD

The Dobbs Diner...
I posted both these in the new hats thread some time ago, but I don't believe either one ever made it here, so here are my two Dobbs. 1930s Dobbs "Leisure Light" in black with "Improved Cavanagh Edge". Early 1950s Dobbs Fifteen in grey. Unfortunately, the sweatband on this one has a... -

Crazes of the Era
Raccoon coats and ukuleles. The ukulele certainly had its heyday in the 1920s with Ukulele Ike, Wendell Hall, Johnny Marvin, and all the rest.- CONELRAD
