    50's DAYTON'S Wool Charcoal Hollywood 2-PC Suit 31w 40R

    If the moth holes are really small or not in plain site I'll wear it. But if it has A LOT of them forget it.

    That's a very nice Pontiac you have there! My dad had a 4 door model.

    Animated Cartoons in the Golden Era

    It was when I first saw an episode of "Rocko's Modern Life" in 1998 that I decided I wanted to be in the cartoon business, but it was in highschool when I spent my free time studying Popeye cartoons from the 1930's-1940's that I finally started animating.

    1940's Pinstripe SB Peak lapel suit

    I think it's dated 1945. A little pricey with all those moth holes and visible patching. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vtg-40s-Mens-Blue-PINSTRIPE-Two-Piece-Wool-Suit-JACKET-PANTS-Size-Small-/221208475704?pt=Vintage_Men_s_Clothing&hash=item33810d7838

    Animated Cartoons in the Golden Era

    I can fully agree with that! With the exception of some pre-1935 cartoons, specifically Fleischer, Disney, and MGM most cartoons look really floaty and have rather dull plots. Though I imagine most audiences were excited to see their favorite comic book characters move at all! One can only...

    Felix was the first cartoon character to be made into a Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade balloon in the late '20s.

    What are you wearing today??

    What I wore for a grey chilly Easter Sunday. '30s suit, '50s Dobbs fedora, '30s tie, modern shirt and shoes, grandpa's '50s-'60s cufflinks and tie bar.

    Animated Cartoons in the Golden Era

    I would have to agree with you that it's definitely the best modern reproduction of a classic pre-code musical cartoon.

    Calling all cars!

    The cars my paternal grandfather owned before 1955 are a mystery. My dad recalls him owning a Plymouth or something related in the early '50s. He was also said to have had a car during WWII that he kept on blocks and under heavy tarp for the duration, most likely another Chrysler product. When...

    Animated Cartoons in the Golden Era

    You may like this then if you haven't already heard of it. It's the '90s incarnation of Felix that showed how timeless the character is. Was also one of them most expensive cartoons to make at the time since they were going for the 1930's animation standard...

    Animated Cartoons in the Golden Era

    Sadly little to no cartoon studios animate on paper anymore. Traditional 2D or "tradigital" (as some people call it) is the way it's done now. The well known program "Flash" is the standard for animation here on the east coast. While I was a stickler for pencil and paper animation for the...

    Animated Cartoons in the Golden Era

    I'd like to add that you should feel fee to talk about animated cartoons in general on this thread. Even in the animation rut of the 1970's-'80s many of the golden era masters were still alive and working, not to mention animation had a second golden era in the 1990's!

    Animated Cartoons in the Golden Era

    Those large compilation DVD's are usually of cartoons that have been in the public domain for a while, thus why it has a lot of early B & W cartoons. Historically the silent cartoons of the '20s were some of the earliest programs broadcasted on television after WWII.

    Excellent! Maybe sometime soon FL will make this film festival happen!

    Animated Cartoons in the Golden Era

    I have yet to see a thread focused on animation, which so happens to share it's golden age (1930's-1950's) with the Golden Era. What cartoons do you fellow loungers like? Any particular notes about the studios back then you'd like to mention? Have questions about how they made pictures come to...

    Take the "Time Travel Challenge!"

    April 1939, Brooklyn. First I'd stop at Coney Island and spend the entire day at Steeplechase, then head on over to a nearby movie palace to see the latest movie. I would then look for an apartment and spend a few days making a drawing portfolio and head on over to the Terrytoons cartoon studio...

    Dating a Dunn & Co Bowler

    If you post some more shots of the sweatband and exterior it could help narrow the date. From what I can see, it looks like it might be from the '40s-early '50s as it lacks a plastic liner cover.

    What time period would you live in, and where, if you had to for one year?

    Some visual reference for why I chose the 1945-1950 period

    What are you wearing today??

    What I wore yesterday to The Museum of the City of New York to check out exhibit on the Worlds Fairs of the 1930's.
