    Lucky Strikes

    I'm smoking them as I type....actually, just came back in to the office from smoking one. Definitely the best cigarette on the US market. I'm actually smoking one in the picture to the left as well, out of an early 1942 green pack

    Today's Pinup Fashion a Sly Wink to the Past - New York Times

    Maybe I shouldn't comment, being a guy and all, but it seems that nudity has reached the point of over-saturation in the collective consciousness.....What you DON'T see, or what you THINK you might be seeing. is often more titillating than what you do see. It's the reason Victoria's Secret still...

    A Question about Typewriter Ribbons

    Good Morning, Lizzy, do you know what a ballpark value would be for a 1917 Corona folding in perfect working order? I have the chance to buy one, but don't want to over-pay if possible. Thanks :)

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Murdoch Mysteries......several liberties taken with history, and production quality akin to a SciFi original, but entertaining :)

    Got one here, with a slew of WW2 vintage gear on the 3rd floor which isn't one of the floors accessible to customers. Most of it is uncatalogued...

    Does your vintage wardrobe have to match your vintage house?

    I'm not sure on this one...........I would say that I picked a random era based on my love of all things deco, and just ran with it. The house I'm in currently is far older than that period, so there would have at least been items from that era at the house during the actual period. That being...

    Exactly. It's not as if they DIED in them, lol!! Now, that would be a different thing entirely :D

    It's a YB-17 without a doubt. Hermann, the guns were moved so that they could shoot below the nose of the aircraft through above the nose, as protection against fighters coming up from below or dropping from above
