[I Adore Film Noir]

There's no year on it, guessing it's from the very late 30's or 40's by the styling.

There is a ton of old country-western albums at the thrift shops around here. I gobble them all up!

Look at the phone number: 61! Isn't that the coolest?

That iron looks nice and heavy, you'll be able to glide it around with your fingertips. Mama always said "Don't press down on the iron. Glide it around and let it do it's job."

One of the things I collect is things with either, less than 7 numbers or Alphanumeric telephone numbers. When I saw that number on there, I had to have it!

I learned the hard way not to press with the iron. I pressed so hard, that the rivets came out of the legs to the ironing board and the whole thing collapsed! My iron was brand new, lightweight, and cheap. Sorry I ever bought it, and now the mister broke lol

I've found an older iron has the weight to give enough crease, even sharper if you just "slightly" put an effort into it. Now you could by a steampress, I had one for years before breaking it somehow. It's smaller of course and the shirts don't fit entirely on it. Mine was a Singer sold at Sams back in the early 90's. I'm sure there are more versions out there now.

I considered one of those. I'm a big fan of a crisp crease in my shirts and slacks.

Anyone know much about Nat Nash and Da Vinci camp shirts? I bought a bunch of them at a Goodwill this weekend. They're sorta neat looking and I might photograph myself wearing them, but I may just end up selling them...

 

[Gregg Axley]

The Da Vinci camp shirts can be had for about $20 a piece, nice shirts really.
The Nat Nash shirts I'd keep Quigley.
Why? 2 sites I found show the least expensive ones to be about $130-140!!!!!
Someone's wife was getting back at them I'd assume, or they had no idea what the shirts cost.
Those are a keeper...If you are selling them, let me know and I'll see if I can work out something close to what you paid, while still giving you a profit. And no, $130 is not the price I'd pay...LOL

BTW check and see, the Nat Nash shirts should be 100% silk. At least all the ones I've found are. I checked a site here in my town (Lanskybros.com) for the current prices on some.

Here's a few of a the Nat Nash shirts. I bought five of these and four D Vincis. I'll probably keep two of the NNs and one DV.

Very sharp!

I love the candy colors! Especially the white and tan. I don't think I've seen one in that shade before.

1959 Calex fridge arrived today.

 

[LocktownDog]

Nice fridge!

 

[MissMittens]

Are you sure on that being a 1959? Looks early 50's but I'm not familiar with the maker.........the styling looks a little older than late 50's/into 60's. Great fridge though, nice find.

Cool fridge! I can hear the satisfying "snap" of the handle now.

 

[Giftmacher]

Thank you all! About age I'm not quite sure, but previous owner said so.

 

[Giftmacher]

Now I found out, that manufacturing of that model ran from 50's to 60'

My new vintage hanging-strop...

The handle says "VIANCO" (333) Is this any help in dating and aging this thing?

 

[Warbaby]

Found this space age Phillips EL-3752 stereo mic at a church sale for five bucks. Works fine and sounds surprisingly good.

 

[kampkatz]

Looks like an interesting conversation piece. Since it also works you got a real bargain.
