    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    WOW, that paste is a blast from the past. Yeah, grade school art projects. I remember that little brush, if you didn't clean the paste off it the bristles would be rock solid the next time you wanted to use it. I also remember the white glue out of a plastic bottle. For some reason the girls...

    Show us your Thrift and/or yard sale finds

    Those are great finds, especially the GS pocket knife. I have the same type from my BSA days, only it has brown plastic grips and a BSA emblem. That badge is interesting too, seems to be an Australian Qantas airline employee bowling (the Brit version of grass bowling) club.

    Love that you collect paint-by-number paintings. I used to do these in my younger days, spent a lot of time in hospital in my childhood and would paint these to pass the time. Happy (maybe not!) memories of picking out paint-by-numbers sets from the craft store and keeping them for my...

    (KNIVES) Let's see some sharp pointy objects

    Some great knives on show here. Living in northern Scotland I need something a tad bigger for when I'm hiking the hills or bushcrafting. I have these two (not EDC!) knives, both of which I bought new in the late 1980s. They're a bit banged up but still all I ever needed. Top is a 1988 dated...

    Not an American train, I'm afraid. A Scottish built steam train from 1947 which saw working life in eastern England and the English midlands. It hauled carriages until 1965 and nowadays it carries rich tourists on vintage train journey vacations. However, here is a American veteran train for...

    The 80s, myth and reality?

    MTV was actually very good when it first started and the videos were very imaginative at the time. The early 1980s was a interesting time for videos as that medium, as we know it now, developed. If you were a teenager in the early 1980s, as was I, you always looked forwards to 'your' groups'...

    Really good, historical, shots. The subject matter reminds me of National Geographic photos I saw as a kid in the 1970s. You should check out the Hong Kong photography of Kai Wong on Youtube - under DigitalRev TV. He does all these reviews of camera stuff and tutorials from street photos to...

    Name the Actor...

    Hmmmm....that grey flannel suit, brown shoes and space gun look very 1950s to me.

    Name the Actor...

    Btw: I saw "Song of the South" in theaters. Later this film I believe was banned in US. I can't recall if it's available or not today. I didn't know that it was banned! I also saw it in a military theater with my father back in the 1970s. Same with Treasure Island. We went to the movies nearly...

    Name the Actor...

    Yes, it was Bobby Driscoll. He also starred in the classic 1950 Disney film Treasure Island and that briar rabbit film Songs of the South. He died in NYC and is buried there in an unmarked grave. Before that he was part of Andy Warhol's The Factory. Yes, a sad real life ending for Bobby...

    Name the Actor...

    An old time favorite film noir movie of mine is set in the tenements of post war New York city. The movie features this young man who later starred in Disney films and ended up in The Factory before dying young. Who is the star and what is the movie? A clue is that a young Arthur Kennedy also...

    Your "perfect" films

    If by 'perfect' you mean a film that I can watch over and over again then two come to mind for me, though, of course, it is a purely personal choice only. My absolute favorite film of all times is Winchester '73, starring James Stewart, a swell Shelley Winters, tragic Charles Drake and bad...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    1970s AO by HanauMan posted Apr 16, 2018 at 6:38 PM AO by HanauMan posted Apr 16, 2018 at 6:38 PM I thought that your shades looked familiar. I have an old pair of American Optical shades from the mid 1970s. My father gave them to me after he 'borrowed' them from some Huey pilot! They look...

    Practical (modern) UNLINED lightweight jacket??

    I always loved the German army 'moleskin' jackets from the 1960s to the present day. They are unlined, have two outside pockets and 1 / 2 inner pockets. They are fairly cheap and well made. Plus, though you can get them in the German flecktarn camo, the older ones (up to the 1990s) can be...

    Denim Jackets - New or Vintage

    I had a nice acid washed denim jacket in the mid 1980s though they were popular for a while before that.

    Favorite Historic Buildings or Places

    As I said earlier, I'm a Arts & Crafts kind of guy and two of my favorite buildings are in Arizona. The Riordan Mansion is in Flagstaff and is a pure gem, both inside and out. Well worth a visit. On the southern rim of the Grand Canyon sits the El Tovar hotel. The dining room is a...

    Favorite Historic Buildings or Places

    Following on from the conversation on social housing, Scotland also built these type of dwellings. These photos show the two entrances to a big oval apartment block built in the late 1940s, a good 20 or more years after the German and Austrian communes. Note the Deco figures above the entrances...

    Favorite Historic Buildings or Places

    This old empty garage occupies a prime space on the main street of town. It has a conservation order on it and is awaiting a new lease of life.
