    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    Always liked Ferlin Husky (as well as his alter ego, Simon Crum). Here's a video with Ferlin playing that amazing guitar shown in the photo above: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1L5FIuiYug&feature=fvsr And in case you've never heard him, here's Simon Crum...

    So when did the boater sink from popular wear?

    While boaters aren't commonly seen on the streets (yet), there are a few of us eccentrics who regularly don them in the summer. Since they're pretty rigid, it can be a real challenge to find a vintage one that fits comfortably. I've had good luck getting one a tad larger than my normal size and...

    China Patterns

    Love that pattern! I've got a feeling that it's prolly out of my price range, though - like a lot of things I want. Our china is a mishmash of mismatched patterns that I've picked up over the years. One of my favorites is Wedgewood Florentine Gold, of which we have but two dinner plates. I'm...

    Kippers

    Not just any old corn - grits are made from hominy which has been dried and ground fine. Hominy is corn that has been soaked in a lye solution, then washed to remove the lye. The lye bleaches the corn white and changes the flavor. The grits are boiled up like porridge and served with lots of...

    I wonder if that's a menthol cigarette she's smoking...?

    Golden Era Styled Clocks

    The solution to the problem of mechanical movements that aren't working is to replace the movement with a modern battery-operated movement. The movements are inexpensive (under $5.00) and very easy to replace. A good source for battery movements is Klockit. I've done this with several clocks...

    Golden Era Styled Clocks

    Here's another from the "Waiting To Be Fixed" shelf. Unusually small for a marble clock - only about 4" square.

    Men's DRESS BOOTS to suit all budgets.

    That link led me to this one http://www.zappos.com/stacy-adams-madison-boot-black?zlfid=111 that I'm tempted to spring for. Anyone have any experience with this boot? How do the sizes run?

    Mint King Cleveland Alto Sax on eBay

    This looks like a pretty nice sax - he also has another sax and a clarinet listed. Auction ends in a couple of days. http://cgi.ebay.com/VINTAGE-KING-CLEVELAND-613-ALTO-SAXOPHONE-NEAR-MINT-/250768206831?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a62f32bef

    What do you collect other than Hats

    Even though our house is filled with mostly antique and vintage things, we think of ourselves as a users rather than a collectors. It's all just stuff we live with and use. But since a large number of similar objects would seem to comprise a collection, I guess I qualify as a collector of...

    A WWII Cold Weather Flight Suit

    Yes, the photo was taken stateside at a base in Texas. Must have been pretty toasty wearing that outfit in the Texas summer - in fact, that may be why the guy looks like he's about to faint...

    A WWII Cold Weather Flight Suit

    I was going through some old family photos yesterday and found this one that my father took of one of his buddies in 1942-43. Thought y'all might be interested in it for the details.

    Loungers' Pets

    Spencer, condescending to pose for a portrait: And Chaplin, aka Chaps, whom we took in a few months ago after some a**hole neighbors moved away and abandoned him. He's not really as sullen as he looks in this photo - he's really quite lovey and is sprawled across my lap and part of my...

    Golden Era Styled Clocks

    This little bedside alarm clock/lamp is another of our favorites. Only the lamp is electric - the clock is a wind-up. It's on the "Waiting To Be Fixed" shelf due to the lack of a shade. I've been looking for the right shade for it for almost 10 years. Someday...

    Show us your TIES

    Found another of those clever Scottish 4-sided ties: (Same tie - two pix put together) From the label, I'm assuming that this next one is a British regimental tie - anyone know what it is?

    Date and Opinions on this White Linen Suit?

    Thanks for the info on cleaning. Unfortunately I won't actually have the suit in my hands for awhile - the seller would only ship to the U.S., so I had them send it to Miss1929 and will pick it up the next time I go down to SF. It won't be until May, but it's a moot point since I wouldn't be...
