    Tourist cabins, auto and motor courts

    The Little Yellow Cottages in Port Austin, Michigan have been around since at least the 1960s and are now completely and beautifully renovated with all mod cons. My family has been vacationing in this area since the late 1950s (before I was born!) My avatar is a photo of my mother in 1960 on the...

    Dating for Fedora Loungers?

    I've often thought that it would be nice to meet a man that enjoys vintage, antiques, and digging around at flea markets and thrift stores like I do... but then I realize that if he's collected as much stuff as I have, there's going to be a storage problem!

    Show us your lighters

    I know this is an old thread... My son collects/restores/deals in Zippo lighters (no other brand). He has some info on the back of his business card that might be helpful:

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    The dregs of a bottle of mint-flavored Kahlua received as a gift last Christmas. Delicious, but soooo very sweet that I can only manage a little at a time... and I forgot it was in my cupboard.

    What Are You Reading

    I recently picked up a 1940 first edition (no DJ) of I Married Adventure by Osa Johnson and am looking forward to cracking it open. It's an early 20th century true-life safari story of an interesting Kansas couple. From Amazon dot com: "Before Joy Adamson went to Africa, before Margaret Mead...

    I recently acquired a few nice turn-of-the-century men's garments (give/take 20yrs) and hope to list them on eBay this coming week. This is my most exciting find: http://www.ebay.com/itm/282400915446?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

    Dealing with Divorce

    I read this thread with interest as I divorced a verbally-abusive control-freak in 2012. The day the divorce was final, I felt like the proverbial ball-and-chain had been cut off my ankle! People would say, "I'm sorry" when they heard I'd divorced and I couldn't help but smile and bubble out...

    Footlocker of THE Julian A. Cook??

    Thanks, it seems I misunderstood some info I read elsewhere and the large printed number under the name IS likely the serial number as you both say . There are often quite a few other numbers on footlockers and trunks that are not the serial number of course, I guess that's what caused my...

    Footlocker of THE Julian A. Cook??

    Yes, thank you, but from what I have been reading the numbers on the trunks aren't the mens' service numbers.

    Footlocker of THE Julian A. Cook??

    I picked this up from a thrift store just because I thought my son would like to store his stuff in it. After I got it home, I decided to research the name on the trunk... and of course came up with the man portrayed by Robert Redford in "A Bridge Too Far". On the front it states he is a Lt. but...

    New York, New York...

    I just returned from a three-day stay in NYC with my two teenagers. I originally wanted to stay in the Greenwich Village area but couldn't find something reasonably priced that could accommodate 3 people, but then again I scheduled everything for this trip only 3 weeks in advance. ALSO, how are...
