    who belongs to a Lodge

    Always thought I'd like to be an Elk, and it was my Grandmother's cherished dream I become a Mason. My church has rules against membership however, as some of the reasons have come up before – oaths, a view of improper advantage for a brother over another, any sort of secrecy etc. Alas...

    WWII "Big White Shirt" Arctic Shirt from WPG $15

    Hey all. I don't need this thing any more, and I have no idea how much its worth. I'll take $15 shipped in the US. This is a large white hooded shirt that British troops would put over their battledress. I'd post a picture, but I the file attachment system is hopelessly broken for me. Shoot me...

    Woolworth's

    Many a fond memory of getting to go to Woolworths when I went to visit my aunt and uncle in Arkansas. Tulsa didn't have one...always loved hitting the candy aisle with Grandmommie and then looking over the great selection of toys. Always an action figure or two there that I didn't have yet...

    Kirby Vacuums

    Mine is Grandmother Weston's from 1956. Works like a dream. However, don't pay too much. Do a google search for deals on Kirby sweepers – the cheapest is to get them from eBay new, but my mom a couple years ago talked down the salesman to $600. That top price is super inflated – I wouldn't pay...

    The Vintage Fur Thread

    Hmm...it's downstairs, I'll have to check. I've reluctantly moved these items to OFAS, and hope for a good price there. I am "macrossmaster" if that is not breaking any rules. Thank you all for your help – I hope these can find good homes to stylish ladies who will wear them proudly. The last...

    The Vintage Fur Thread

    Glad you all approve! But any identification you can do on the coat? What sort of style is it called? Any idea of valuation on the coat? Without a firm idea of what any of it is worth I'm afraid it will wind up as a lot on eBay. :( But I do have a lot of bills, and I think my Grandmother...

    The Vintage Fur Thread

    OK girls, I tried hard to get these pics to attach. Annoyingly, nothing worked. I couldn't get them to upload from a URL or my computer. BTW, Only info I have is that the topmost collar is Mink.

    The Vintage Fur Thread

    Need help on vintage fur, ladies. Hi ladies! I have some of my grandmother's fur accents and one fur shoulder? fur (ie not full length). I have a mess of collars and sleeve furs that dress up coats. I can post pictures eventually, but I was wondering what they might be worth here on the...

    1942-1943 Bargain Catolog

    Thanks for posting! Hey – I didn't see the most important part – the order form! Think it'd be worth the $20 or 30 I'd send em to see if they've got some left? :D

    cashmere topcoat cost ?

    Joseph A. Bank has clearance sales in which their cashmere top coats go half off. I got one for $300. Watcht the moths though – they did a number on mine. Still was able to sell it on eBay for a c-note though.

    The Pace of Life in the Golden Era...vs. today

    This is largely because our public transit companies are incompetent and or inefficient. Take a look at Japan's rail systems and subways to see a very efficient mass transit system. Unfortunately, we don't care enough to do it right. Half-measures are the curse of everything it seems.

    The Pace of Life in the Golden Era...vs. today

    I've been doing a lot of thinking on this lately. Im curious to hear other thoughts before I give my own, but what are yours about the pace of life back in the 30s-40s vs. today? Is it possible to slow down enough today? What does that involve giving up? Hope this goes some interesting places.

    What does a Vintage Baby Girl & Nursery need?

    Thanks for all the suggestions all. So far we have modern things as our budget is rather low, seeing as I'm a seminary student (and soon to be pastor come May). But I'm keeping an eye out.

    What does a Vintage Baby Girl & Nursery need?

    Wife and I are expecting a bundle of joy of the female variety at the end of May. Suggestions as to vintage baby stuff she needs? Vintage style is good, as whatever we use must be sanitary obviously, but anything you can recommend is great, both for baby herself and her nursery and decor...

    Repro Toasters

    Still using my grandmothers, looks like the ad posted earlier. Was a wedding present – and a darn good one, since it makes all our toast even today, 50 years later.
