    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    My last house was late Victorian, 1890. It was one of the oldest in the town, and was in the historic district. That would be an average brick home in the UK. That's another thing, building materials are different between the two sides of the Atlantic. Homes are built of cinder blocks and brick...

    Vintage candy that is still on the shelves

    It occurred to me that while so many things have disappeared, our sweet tooth hasn't changed much over the decades. Candy that is still available almost everywhere, often hails from the Golden Era: 1920's: Babe Ruth bars BB Bats Bit O Honey Brach's Bridge Mix Charms pops Dubble...

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Actually, yes. Antiques are minimum 100 yrs old by definition, but most of what you see in antique stores are 17th Century pieces. Everything is older in Europe though. My ancestral homes' foundation was laid in the mid 1400's, the house being built and added to over the centuries, with the...

    Toppers Unite

    I would love to, however, two trips to the city from Delaware in one week is probably outside the realm of possibility for me I'm afraid. That being said, as it's seemingly a monthly event, I shall definitely make the trip soon.

    Toppers Unite

    Yes, it is contemporary unfortunately. Finding an antique 7 3/4 topper is like looking for the proverbial needle in a haystack. It's a Selentino beaver topper with grosgrain and a silk band. Not one of the usual cheapies that you would find from Selentino. Unfortunately the contrast is a little...

    How to store a top hat correctly?

    Thank you for the advice. I haven't been a hat wearer, but purchased a nice topper recently. I shall locate a suitable container and not worry about the storage conditions :)

    How to store a top hat correctly?

    Can anyone please tell me? Is there a recommended level of humidity, temperature, etc, for hat storage as there is for long-term instrument storage, etc? Thanks

    A victory for decorum.

    I disagree......cultuarlism at best, but I don't think it could be described as racism. Why should any racial group be able to wear improper clothing to court?

    "Unhappy Hipsters" Blog

    Now, I have to say that after reading the hipster-hate, lol, hipsters aren't *entirely* bad.... Reason #1: The resurgence of vinyl as a viable musical medium. Reason #2: Various fashion revivals, including 20's and 40's. Reason #3: Old Style and/or Pabst Blue Ribbon. Reason #4: Underrated...
