    What are the Oldest Objects you Own?

    The oldest objects I own are coins like those I used as background with this (also old) watch. The two from the right side are ancient greek coins from south italian colonies. The upper right is a bronze Litra from Syracus and ca. 400 BC, the one below it is a silver Triobol from Thurioi and ca...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    I couldn't resist this vintage Stetson. Guess its from the late 50's or early 60's? The felt is soo soft and its nearly mint, no dirt inside, the leather sweatband fresh and also soft. Just wow, I love it:

    Do You Still Use "Golden Age" Products?

    Mostly my wristwatches and pens. But I also have a razor of the 1950s and a clock that are still in use. Then, well guess what, a Fedora from 1957 and one from the 60s, cufflinks. I would want more things for the daily use from that era. I kind of like using things that are already there and can...

    Facebook in the Golden Era...

    Also I geuss that's what the freemason lodges and similar brotherhoods and communities were for. In kind of way they were more connected with people outside the usual club, barbershop or pub, since these circles are connected and even in a kind of way a network of lots of people with similar...

    Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.

    Regarding classic tank watches, over the christmas holidays I use this little fellow, a Hamilton Turner from the mid 1930s: A not very common style nowadays and while it is small, it still looks prominent on the wrist and looks definetaly more masculin with this cornered case and the art...

    Vintage Baseball

    Hey thanks for the infos. Lizzie, it's interesting and new to me that it became this popular for women. Something different than I would have thought, cause in the movies you always see the daddy playing with the son. Also sports is in Europe more the thing for men, especially soccer which is...

    Vintage Baseball

    I saw "the Pride of the Yankees" last night and it wasn't the first time that I thought baseball seems an interesting sport and I really would like to see and hear more of it. But since I live in Europe there isn't much about it known and also hard to find other enthusiastics or fans of the...

    Favorite Historic Buildings or Places

    Regarding windmills, this one is only 4 km away from my hometown and also one of my favorite spots. Not only an interesting and still working piece but also the area around it with small rural villages, fields and forests. A very nice place for cycling and hiking.

    Favorite Historic Buildings or Places

    :eusa_clap Impressive! Would really like to see this in reality. The dome is goergious! Besides, @HepKitty. I am glad that you like Germany and have been here. I must confess that I never was in the USA but the time will come, promised. If you make it back to Schwerin someday, I...

    Favorite Historic Buildings or Places

    I was there years ago. As a child I thought it amazing but even then I personally found the older castle right next to it better, more realistic. This one is sometimes too modern, strange and well crazy like the king who build it. But nonetheless a must see if one is in the area and besides...

    Advice on a quality writing instrument

    It can also be said about the earlier Sheaffers from the 1930s/40s. I own several nice Sheaffer Balance models and they are great at writing (really good balanced in the hand) and eyecatchers with their streamlined designs and fancy colors. Especially carmine red looks very swish. The same goes...

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Does a whole country with its society counts? The GDR, the country I was born in disapeared completely with most of their own industrial products. E.g. there are no longer cars like Wartburg, Trabant or the (at least in the GDR) famous Schwalbe, Star and all the other motorcycles. Also many...
