    vintage toys

    How old are you? I remember the roomers, that people put razor blades in apples for Trick or Treat. That rumours goes back to the early 50s! as if we needed an excuse to want more candy, and less apples.

    Show us your Switchblades

    Here in Colorado, you can own one, but you are not allowed to carry it, outside the house! A rather quaint law, enacted during the 50s Juvenal delinquent scare!

    Hands down, the best episode was, when Martin Sheen, showed up as Rose's father!

    what was an old fashioned Antique store like back in 1890 - 1920?

    I saw the same thing with the NASCAR toys! I told one collector back then, they will be worthless in a few years, he pointed to how much 60s and older toys were starting to bring. I told him, there's a reason for that, we played with our toy cars tell the wheels fell off, then it became a flying...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    American Genius: Edison vs. Tesla. I am completely biased, since I pas the are were Tesla had his laboratory at least a couple of times a week!

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Because it was totally ridiculous, and that is funny! Plus Charlie was too stoned to remember his lines, so they needed a weird subplot.

    I know one thing you could buy in 1890. A genuine Egyptian Mummy, and all the assorted accoutrements, for your mummy!

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    American Genius: Oppenheimer vs. Heisenberg. Interesting how this is one of the instances, where the looser comes out better liked then the winner!

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    In the states, the Victorian house movement lasted into the 1920s. I am with you, it should end with Victoria! Although, it may be confusing to have so many Georgian periods in history! What is it, seven and counting?

    I would think, the engine alone is worth that! Back in the 80s, we took one of those out of a truck and put it into a 60s Fairlane, with Nitrous. It would turn in low 12 second quarter miles at almost 5,000 feet. Then, the kid would drive it to school and work every day. He called it Martha! Oh...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Not sure the name of the show? Some guy, brought in an 83 Avanti in box's. Pretty funny. Glad I turned down the original Studebaker Avanti I could have bought last year! Funny, when they first came out, I was in love, now, not so sure I like the looks at all!

    Why were the 70s such a tacky decade?

    Reading this, I just realized, I have little interest in history during the time I have been alive. How many of you feel the same? For me, history basically ends on August 1945. The few things after that are all tied to WWII. Korean war piston driven airplanes, same with Vietnam! The first...

    Dressing Down For Church Has Gone Too Far, CNN Article

    This may be as good a place as any to ask this question. I have been trying to find out what the reaction by older people to the younger people, when they made the transition from breeches and pantaloons to the modern trousers? Maybe Lizzie knows? I would imagine, it was shock and disdain, but...

    Oldest person you ever knew?

    Sadly, there are now only two people in the entire world who were born in the 19th century! Jeralean Talley, passed away on June 17, 2015, age 116. That leaves only, Susannah Mushatt Jones, born July 6, 1899 United States and Emma Morano, born November 29, 1899 Italy. I am not sure why there is...

    1940s Tennessee State Patrol car colors?

    Just stumbled onto this photo, while researching Harley VLs. Don't let the date fool you, it is actually a 1934 Harley Davidson VL! Pretty stunning paint scheme for the time.
