    Pets in Golden Era movies

    I can't believe I forgot about this! I had an actual print of this some years ago, but it became badly vinegared (is that even a word?) from decades of poor storage, and deterioration of the acetate before I acquired it :(

    Pets in Golden Era movies

    Post 'em if you got 'em! I'll kick things off. Here's arguably Hollywood's most famous cat, Orangey, who starred in Rhubarb (1951) at the "tail" of the era, alongside Ray Milland, Jan Sterling, and Gene Lockhart

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Only saw "Basic Instinct" once, when it first came out on VHS. I was a student at the time and had gone around to a friend's house to meet him and go to some student fundraising event, but he wasn't home yet. His mother invited me in and the movie was playing. We sat there watching it until he...

    Hunting Hitler on the History Channel

    Having read this, you're absolutely right, it's packed with jargon to the hilt. No doubt to obfuscate the fact that it contains nothing but the fantasy of a man who only has a bachelors (BA) in physics, his PhD coming in "system's science" which is basically a "general science meets the...

    Hunting Hitler on the History Channel

    Blue Book was a USAF project to catalog mysterious appearances in the sky. Most were likely either government experiments such as the SR-71 Blackbird and other then-classified aircraft, some were weather related, and a handful were "unexplained." It's important to note that unexplained doesn't...

    Vintage trains

    I think I saw that back in the day. Wonderful pictures, and definitely a trip of a lifetime I'm sure :)

    Vintage trains

    It was a very nice ride, and very evocative of the Golden Era....but I'm just not really a "train buff" I just enjoy the experience of it :) No offense meant :)

    The Powder Room's Etsy Directory

    Re-launched my Etsy store with some new items to get things going. Will be adding more through this week, and then will be updating regularly once a week. I sell pretty much any all things vintage between 1920's through 1940's, and will eventually be adding some handmade jewelry in the coming...

    Vintage trains

    From a recent trip my fiancee and I went on a couple of weekends ago, just south of Philadelphia. The train was built by Baldwin of Philadelphia in 1907 and was restored in 1997. For the railroad geeks, it has a boiler pressure of 190 psi and over 31,000 lbs of traction, whatever any of that...

    Is ebay about to end selling vintage and unique items?

    OfferUp can be cool for local finds, but as with places like Craigslist, you never know what you're getting yourself into because most of the listings around here are for "pick up" so it's not exactly the safest option of buying things. There's also not the same financial guarantees as other...

    Is ebay about to end selling vintage and unique items?

    I think eBay tried to become a corporate outlet. It's failed. Most of the corporate sellers moved to Amazon. So now eBay has a difficult choice - either continue it's decline, or bring back mom and pop sellers. They'll probably choose to continue their decline into eventual oblivion if they...

    Bargain original M422a? Or repro?

    The listing takes me to a Class A tunic not an M422a leather. FWIW, the tunic appears to be a genuine Officer's tunic. If you zoom in on the sleeve where the cadet patch has been added (which also appears to be genuine) you can see where the bevo weave has been removed from the sleeves. The...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Watched "Midnight" (1939) with Claudette Colbert and Don Ameche. A light romantic comedy with Colbert playing a girl who pretends to be a baroness in order to seduce a rich man's wife's boyfriend, and Ameche playing a cab driver who's in love with Colbert.

    I agree he does try occasionally, but it's just not the same for me
