For lack of deciding a better place to post I am posting here.
My sweetie and I went to a dance this weekend that was held at a museum airfield.
She did some research and decided on a hair style she saw in a Batty Grable picture.
I recently bought a pretty good suit. '50's era and I didn't even have to get it tailored.
I have hung the jacket and trousers out in the open so they can air out but it still lingers a bit.
I am originally from Arizona where I have never really encountered that smell until I left the state...
This is something that this dry cleaners would put in the handkerchief pocket. As can be seen the top has the appearance of a handkerchief. The end is folded to fit the pocket. If someone would like it to add to their collection then let me know and I'll get it off into the mail to you. :)
Supposedly 40's or 50's. Never used stock.
Has a stamp pocket which as we know is something we don't have today.
The outside embossment.
The hotel is now a Hilton hotel if I recall correctly. I love how old keys were more ornate.
I'm sorry. I have spent too much at movie prop boards. Those guys love to point out what they think are errors. I made an entirely custom prop never seen by or made by anyone and someone said I did it wrong. :rolleyes:

I am a senior model maker at a rapid prototyping company. I have worked in the toy and collectibles industry and have had my work appear in the Big Bang Theory as well as Star Trek: The Next Generation. Working for movie studios isn't something you want since you are out of work 3 to 9 months...
I was looking for one of these for awhile. They always were in some kind of bad shape. So...I made my own. The master pattern is SLA(sort of like 3D printing but better IMHO).
The dials turn. Needle dial turns. The cylinder in the back is removable as if it were a power cell. Made hollow for...
I am senior model maker at a rapid prototyping shop. I have worked in the toys and collectibles industry making action figures and movie prop replicas as well.
I sculpted this a few years ago, made the molds, cast the parts, cleaned and painted the parts. I was watching "Woman of the Year" with Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn and an unpainted version was in the film.
Hopefully it is not out of line here being that it is new made in vintage style.
I made this from scratch, made molds, cast parts, cleaned and painted parts.
