Allow me to present a toast(er)
Instructions for building a piece of toast ( or two ). Yes, it has the original black and white cloth-covered cord and plug. You don't often find the cords serviceable due to their age, but this one appeared to be new and unused; new old stock??? To toast both side of a piece of toast, you...- Frankie Lamb

Allow me to present a toast(er)
Picked this little jewel up at a 2nd hand store a while back. It makes toast much quicker than a modern one, and has the advantage of being able to customize your order by using one side for lightly toasted to the other side for the "Oh my God, it's charcoal" lovers. And, it's a lot easier to...- Frankie Lamb

Show us your Thrift and/or yard sale finds
Shucks, 'twern't nothin' !! Finally; success in posting a picture. While I'm happy the mystery of pix-posting has finally been solved, let me say that it took John of Covina baby sitting me through the steps to finally earn my stripe; and I can do it in either color, or black and white too ...- Frankie Lamb

Near misses and real losses...
Keep 'em flyin' Yeah, Fur Felt Fedora, your Dad had a good point. If he's still with us, tell him I got even with those Jerries for him; I let the Army Air Force drop my peddle car on them. After they used it to make a bomb with of course. Frankie L.- Frankie Lamb

Near misses and real losses...
I feel your pain, but..........? Trust me when I say I can see how you feel, and/or felt about your Mom tossing your favorite toy in the trash. My first such case happened when I had to take my steel pedal-car to the scrap drive collection center during WWll. Lot's of tears, but also a feeling...- Frankie Lamb

"Elementary my dear Watson!"
One of my favorite things to do ( I guess I'm just easy to please ) is to listen to old radio programs in my car as a wander about with no particular destination in mind. I have several thousand old radio programs on MP3 CD's. Lately I've been listening to the old radio shows of Sherlock Holmes...- Frankie Lamb

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Last chance to see old Havana Just got through watching the Alec Guinness film, "Our Man in Havana." Aside from the usual treat of watching the great Sir Alec do his stuff, and seeing Ernie Kovacs in one of his rare serious roles, you have a chance to see the actual city of Havana just three...- Frankie Lamb

Out damn spot!!
A drum roll please Thanks Gents for your collective and sound advice. In a fit of desperation I'm going to try the "Magic Marking Stick" and roll the dice. If it works, I'm "stylin", and if not and it turns into a bullet hole, I'll affect a limp and come up with some sketchy tale of heroism...- Frankie Lamb

posting challenged It's painful to admit but I've not yet, in spite of expert advice from all corners, managed to master the posting of pictures. There are one of two things in this life that I do rather well, but unfortunately, posting %**$!! pictures to the Lounge site is not one of them...- Frankie Lamb

Out damn spot!!
I have a late forties non-structured gaberdine men's jacket made be MacGregor that is in excellent condition save a small spot in the back near the bottom. It appears to have been the result of a bleach or Clorox spill. It's only about the size of a nickle, but when I'm wearing it I feel like...- Frankie Lamb

Cocktail Cabinets
Good news, bad news... The good news is, that's the coolest, or rather, in a term appropriate to the era, "Ritziest" thing I've ever seen. The bad news is, looks like I picked a Hell of a time to quite drinking! I can just see the ghosts of William Powell and Myrna Loy standing beside it...- Frankie Lamb

Post New Hats Here!
No big buckle, no turkey, just a plain old hat I just saved an old trooper of a fedora from the trash-bin. It'll never be my "Sunday go to meetin' " hat, but then, I wear a fedora every day of the week so I don't care. I'm not familiar with the maker" Pilgrim". There are no other markings on...- Frankie Lamb

What was the last TV show you watched?
Those were the days my friend.......... Just finished watching "When the Lion Roared:pt 11" on TCM. I couldn't have imagined I'd ever sit through any film lasting as long as did pt's 1 & 2 of this production, but I did, and furthermore it had me craving more! I suppose partly because of the...- Frankie Lamb

"Big Sleep" Auto registrations Yes, they were a state regulation in the time period "The Big Sleep" was filmed during the WWll. They were held in place on the steering column by a spring-clip. I don't remember just when they were discontinued but I'm guessing early fifties or so. I had one of...- Frankie Lamb

Good news, bad news I'd love to post pictures but I seem to be the last guy on the planet that can fathom the secrets of posting pictures from Photobucket to the F.L.. There are one or two things I'm good at; posting pictures is apparently not one of them. Sorry. Frankie Lamb- Frankie Lamb

Whats he sayin', What's he sayin' ?? If you liked the Ben Hur with Charlton Heston, wait until you catch the silent version ( There were a few ) with Francis X. Bushman as B.H. As moving as Heston's was, especially the scenes with his Mother and Sister, the one with F.X.B. had me reaching for...- Frankie Lamb

"when you're hot, you're hot" !!
I picked up another fedora today at an antique mall for $25.00, including the original hatbox. It's a Dobbs, Leisure Flex, model fifteen. It has a Cavanaugh edge on a 2 1/2" brim with a 2" hat band. It was inside the box and appeared to have never been worn as it was "unbashed" with no mark of...- Frankie Lamb

Hey, that's my hat! I was lucky enough to purchase a chocolate brown Bond fedora in near mint condition yesterday at a local swap meet for $5.00. Then, last night I happen to notice "Miller's Crossing" was on cable. Well, I've seen it at least two or three times but after 30 seconds into it I...- Frankie Lamb
