Terms Which Have Disappeared
I still use "Bounder", "Cad", "Blackguard", "Philanderer" and other such unsavory terms. It's nice to revive them so that you can insult people without them knowing what the hell you're saying.- Shangas

Looking for Groups/Sites that focus on Edwardian-1920's Eras
The Lounge seems to focus on everything from the Late Victorian era (1880s) up to the 1960s, so I'd be very surprised if you couldn't find an Edwardian-20s discussion-area here somewhere. Or maybe the mods could create something.- Shangas

Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.
I got a great watch at Camberwell. The pride of my tiny collection. But you really have to be sharp-eyed, smart, and keep your mouth shut when you look for them.- Shangas

Not quite the same thing, but these are my purchases from the 2014 Melbourne Pen Show. Rubber ink-sacs for repairing old fountain pens. Nib-clamp for removing nibs and feeds. Small gobbet of silicone grease. Small bottle of shellac-glue. Traveling vesta-case manufactured by...- Shangas

Removing Wall paper from an old shipping crate
When we removed all the wallpaper from our house, we used specially-made wall-paper steamers. The hot steam melts the glue underneath the wallpaper, and then you just peel it off like a sticker (or scrape it off with a paint-scraper, if it's being stubborn). I understand a similar effect may...- Shangas

That's a great pith helmet, VC Brunswick. How much did it cost you? And what style of pith helmet is that called?- Shangas
