Gramophones, Phonographs, Victrolas....
It's certainly not a wind-up Victrola, but here's my 1940 GE phonograph radio, beautifully restored by the person I bought it from. I'd been looking for an antique electric phonograph to replace my cheap Crosley reproduction (that I've been expecting to bite the dust anytime for almost a year... -

I believe this is my only tie that I haven't already posted here. 1940s Hollyvogue, 4 3/4 inches wide, probably my widest tie. It has a slight blemish where I tried to clean off some dirt. I was originally going to sell it, but it grew on me, and I decided I couldn't part with it.- CONELRAD

Dark/sad vintage popular music
I know Hal Kemp's version has already been posted here, but in my opinion, Connee Boswell's rendition of The Boulevard of Broken Dreams has a more sorrowful and solemn tone. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R80woBk5rbY -

Do you count 1945 through 1963 as part of the Golden Era?
My definition of the Golden Era lasts through the end of the 1940s and continued to fade out until about 1952, since it took a couple years for the "forties" to end and the "fifties" to begin.- CONELRAD

Turn of the Century Sack Suit
There's a 1904 dated dark brown sack suit from Germany on eBay. Seems to be about a size 38 to 40, with a 36 inch waist on the pants. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mens-Suit-vintage-German-dated-1904-AG09-/281207700223 They're asking a small fortune at approximately $825 (or best offer), but it... -

That one's my favorite, too. I'm not usually a big fan of the Countess Mara designs, but I like this one. Plus it goes with my own initials. And that was more or less what I had guessed about the Oriental tie, but I wasn't sure because of its foreign maker.- CONELRAD

Don't get me wrong, I love these ties. I just wouldn't have been so quick to pick these designs over others if they weren't the high-end ties that they are, especially the Sulka, as pink isn't really my color. I suppose when I said that they weren't my style, I didn't take all the other...- CONELRAD

Picked up these two 40s/50s ties in Dallas today. This Countess Mara "medieval sport" themed tie... ...and this A. Sulka & Company silk tie. They aren't my usual style of ties, but they're much higher quality than any of my other vintage ties. Also got this oriental brocade tie from Hong...- CONELRAD

It most likely came from the Stork Club in New York City. Their logo was a stork with a top hat. On "The Neckties of President Harry S. Truman" there is a Stork Club tie a little less than half way down the page (purple with pianos) that features the same stork in the background.- CONELRAD

Got this late 40s or 50s belted back jacket a few days ago, made by Adam Sportswear. I'd been looking for a new jacket for the coolers days of the Texas winter, as well as an example of the sportswear that was mentioned on some Adam hat sweatbands.- CONELRAD

Just got this in the mail today, a Japanese silk handkerchief from the 1933 Chicago World's Fair. It's in excellent condition, and it's my first silk pocket square (as opposed to my usual squarely folded cotton handkerchiefs).- CONELRAD
