I whole heartedly agree! I don't collect items for any kind of investment. I will be lucky to ever get my money back but most likely will take a loss. (some may be difficult to resell... diminishing interests with today's kids) I have no problem with that as I buy certain items because I like...

I LOVE those films!!!!! Last year I did a marathon of them all! I did a double feature every weekend for the month of April! :D
As a kid in the late 1970s I would occasionally catch one late night on television and just loved them... back then I probably only ever saw maybe 2 of them... until...
Song of the Islands
1942
80 years later its still funny, fun and adorable… Betty Grable at her best!
I mean, who else can pull off the Hula-Irish Stepdance mashup?
indeed there is some money left on the table for A listers if they don't have scans and are willing to sell usage rights to their image. some actors find it creepy but some estates are okay with this. James Dean is set to be recreated in CGI for the upcoming live-action Vietnam war movie Finding...
thanks! ... and agreed. I tend to collect things to use as their intended purpose. I get more enjoyment out of them that way. mint in the box doesn't do much for me. I have items I won't use and just keep on display but not many. I use my old 40s coffee mugs! :D
Finally got that vintage 1940s office/teacher's desk I've always wanted to complete the look of my vintage office!
For some time searched for a 1940s desk but being large, heavy, pricey and always too far away I pretty much gave up on the idea. They rarely list them to ship as the price of...
Bologna with a slice of Kraft cheese and mustard was my go to.
I lived on Bologna sandwiches for quite some time. Now I avoid bread as much as I can so I just roll up ham or turkey sammich meat around a mozzarella cheese stick and dip it in mustard for lunches :D
Many years ago I acquired the...
added this great circa 1928 Automatic Electric Monophone with type 38 handset (similar to the E1) to my vintage office decor.
I haven't bothered to open it as you can often find date of manufacture inside on parts so I don't know when this particular one was made.
This was the first desk top...
His Girl Friday (1940)
Cary Grant, Rosalind Russell, Ralph Bellamy and Gene Lockhart.
Very fast paced wit and banter with almost easy to miss one-liners and its non stop! Great writing, great acting and fantastic directing! One could surmise that Steven Spielberg must have studied this film in...
Too hot and humid but I put it on this afternoon because... well, I miss it :(
Anxiously awaiting November....
Eastman Leather Star Sportswear A-2 (size 42)
Just got this awesome Olive drab short sleeve cotton canvas field shirt from C.C. Filson. Not unlike L.L. Bean cotton canvas shirts but...
Good point! I have some great directions now with these ideas! I totally get your point on changing of tastes and the association to nostalgia as well. I think this is also why I’m on a search. .. kind of looking for that childhood memory of being around my dad’s friends when they came over for...
Very cool! Thanks for that. Very interesting about the opening of the sinuses! Ill keep a point in looking for that as i also have a bit of allergies issues this time of year which leads to a bit of sleep apnea of sorts. And who the heck doesn’t like chocolate cake?! :D
