    The bible for railroad locomotives, circa 1941...

    Good find, p51! Although the photos are probably black and white it should be a coffee table item, nevertheless. May you have hours of happy thumbing through that treasure!

    Eastman A2 versus Gibson Barnes A2

    An AAF veteran (14th AF, CBI theater, B-25 gunner) had a Cooper that his adult children had given him since his original gear had long since disappeared. When he passed away last year his children told their mother to give the jacket to me ( I had been visiting him as his pastor for several...

    I cooked a leather jacket

    Edward, I had two cats, also, r.i.p., and they did baptize a few jackets, leather and wool. The wool was never quite the same after cleaning, but the leather survived.

    Aero A2 in Russet Goatskin

    Barman, thanks for all the poses in both jackets. Your Cooper ,which is the same size as mine, fits you more naturally in the collar than mine . Welcome to TFL.

    My parents had a grandfather clock that looked almost identical to the Ridgeway. After they passed away my brother sold the clock to someone near-by since we all lived too far away to economically transport it. May you have many years of enjoying its pleasant sounds.

    7th Cavalry A Company Hat/Lapel Device

    Having located the cap devices I discovered that the cavalry piece actually has an 8 and a C in place of the 7 & A. The bugle has a 6 & B, and crossed cannon simply has an 11 over the intersection. I believe I paid $3 each for them sometime around 1970. Sorry that I have no means to photo...

    New Acquisition - US Army Visor Cap

    JF, the cover/hat looks good for an antique. Looks like it is free of moth holes, luckily. Good luck with rounding up the rest of your outfit.

    What are your thoughts on US WINGS Jackets?

    Seb Lucas, I guess that comparing my Cooper A-2 to USWings would then by like comparing a moped to a Toyota Corolla?

    7th Cavalry A Company Hat/Lapel Device

    Highlander, 1895 would probably be right for originals. I also obtained a curved bugle device about the same size. I have yet to dig them out of a closet in another residence that I only get to on weekends. I will try to remember to do so this Friday, the 13th (maybe it will bring good luck).

    7th Cavalry A Company Hat/Lapel Device

    Highlander, I have the same hat device, I believe, which I got in an antique store in Bergen County NJ at least 45 years ago. I got it along with some other repro "Civil War era" pieces. If compared to those of the late 1800's it would be smaller. I will have to dig mine out of storage and...

    Thanks for the photos, Strabler. Do you have a full shot of the chair? Only seeing the seat does not give it justice. Thanks again.

    Life with ONE great Leather Jacket vs. Life with MANY Leather Jackets

    Dr. Strange pretty much nails it for most of us multi- jacket owners. We are at disease because there would be no-ease with only 1 jacket.

    Show us your vintage home!

    I agree with jamespowers, as I have used Kilz over the years for a variety of stains and odors. One coat usually works on cat urine, but a second coat absolutely seals it in forever.

    Have you flown in a vintage aeroplane?

    My friend and I were looking at PA-22 Tri-Pacers as a possible investment in the 70's and we tried out a '56. It was the most "seat-of the pants" flying I ever experienced.

    Show us your vintage home!

    Nice Victorian look on the exterior, Steermen. May you enjoy many years in your home. The shake-shingles will darken with age. Does the interior have period style woodwork and high ceilings?
