    Turquoise/Native American jewelry

    Back in the 70s and 80s I had a fairly large collection of Indian jewelry, mostly early 20th c. pawn. I wore a lot of it then, but times change, my style changed, and it got relegated to a display cabinet. When it got to be worth some serious frog pelts a few years ago I sold most of it. The...

    That delta wing plane from the 50s is pretty cool - do you know what it is?

    Almost forgot this vintage Baldor grinder ($5.00) because it went directly to my workbench. Weighs a ton, really powerful and runs nearly silently with not a hint of vibration. I hate to spout a cliche, but they don't make 'em like that no more.

    Yesterday was a good day at the garage sales - lots of good stuff for five bucks or less... Nice Electrolux, $5.00 - it's got a few dents but it works great. No attachments, but the attachments from our old vacuum will fit it. Five unused copper pans, $5.00 for the lot. Antique...

    I haven't been around much for the past year or so because we've been building a house (pix to appear later in another thread) and the project totally ate up all of my time and attention. The house is finally finished, we (and all our stuff) are moved in and relatively settled, and I've got time...

    Tootal - The Company History and its products (ties, scarves etc)

    I have 20 or so cravats (or ascots, depending on which side of the pond you're on), of which 6 are Tootals. Here they are:

    Ask a question, get an answer

    Ok, I'll give it a fair try and wear it just as I would any other hat. I'd really like to keep it and wear it because I like the style and, as I said earlier, the fit is perfect. Still not 100% convinced, though, that it looks right on me. Might get my wife to snap a photo of the hat on my...

    It's not that I live in a city (I'm in a small town (pop. 10,000) on Vancouver Island), or that western wear is foreign to my sensibilities (I grew up in a small town in Arizona and even had a job breaking horses when I was in college), but that I don't have any western wear (other than a very...

    Thanks for the advice - I don't want to mess up a nice hat with a bad re-bash fail. I think I'll take job's advice and wear it around awhile. If it still doesn't work for me, I'll stick it in the classifieds for a trade.

    Ask a question, get an answer

    After a long hiatus, I'm back with a hat question. I haven't been around much for the past year or so because we've been building a house and the project devoured all of my energy and attention. The house is finally finished, we've moved in, and I can hang out in the lounge once again (house...

    Help finding '20s glasses like this pair.

    I've been searching for glasses like this for a couple of years, and as far as I know, no one makes them anymore. They're an early transitional style that combined the large, round lenses and cable temples that were common in the 20s & 30s with the simple metal nose bridge that was used on the...

    Spectator Shoes

    I find that a small amount of upholstery cleaner and a toothbrush work wonders.

    Three dollar Goodwill store purchase nets 190,000 dollar return!

    I love it when someone makes a great score like that! Those of us who haunt thrift stores, garage sales and auctions are always expecting to score the big one, the "Retirement Piece". I've had a few major scores over the years, but nothing approaching that one. Bravo for ol' Leroy.

    US Currency Circa 1923

    Not only were they beautiful examples of the engravers' art (I particularly like the fiver), but were actually worth something in those days. You could exchange your intrinsically valueless paper at any time for silver.

    The first time I read your post my mind did a bit of a glitch and I read Pecards as Pernod. Yep, drinking Pernod for two weeks might not make your shoes softer, but you prolly wouldn't care...

    Sport Coat Vs. Suit Coat

    Thanks for the tips on the gray DB - I had never thought of it with tan trous, but I tried it and it works! Also like the look with white trous and shoes - a bit avant garde looking, but so am I...
