    1930's brown pinstripe single breasted peak lapel suit

    All hail to the Shangas! I'm a tiny ba***rd, really. I'm 5'6". About 130 pounds (or at least, I'm desireous of weighing 130 pounds. I will, one day...) The inside leg measurement says 29 inches. Mine is about 27-28 inches. The waist is 32...which is good. The shoulder-shoulder measurement...

    Advice on a Zenith 18K gold cushion faced watch (circa 1919).

    Hey Flash, "Value" and "worth" are INCREDIBLY subjective words. I would caution you against using them. What an object's 'value' is changes every single hour of the day. An object's 'value' is whatever someone is willing to pay for it. To find that out, search eBay for similar watches in...

    Gentlemen, show us what you've made!

    That's very smart, Pinesiw! Very sharp. I made this: Some of you may remember I made another one previously, a cosey for my vintage copper bed-warmer. The other one was neat, but it was very rough, handmade, and the fabric was so thin that if you held the bottle for any longer...

    New "Speakeasy style" club opening in New York

    "...I'm stepping out, my dear, Into an at-mos-phere, That simply reeks with class, And I trust That you'll excuse my dust, When I step on the gas..." We shall see. This looks like a beautiful club. I wish we had such a place in my town.

    Family Lore: Pride in Our Predecessors

    Hahahaha!! I loved that! Very creative. I never paid much attention to family history before, but I have of recent months, developed a lot of posthumous respect for both my paternal grandfather and grandmother (and when granny was still alive --- she died last year, aged 97!, you can bet I...
