I'm walking on eggshells with you, Buddy. I don't want you taking another sabbatical.

Yeah we missed the knwoledgeable old bar steward while he was away.lol lol

The answer is mild Acetone. But please refer to Style Forum posting on Ron Rider and antiquing for better instructions. Especially as you have bought them cheap. You would not start fooling around with a new pair of Sutor Mantelassis...

A recent eBay offering (not mine) unusual crosshatched/webbed Spectators

Nice spectators Binks and how much did they set your Excellency back?

 

[BinkieBaumont]

They were a Smidgen under $400.00, including a lovely storage box and a tube of Collonil Classic

Now I want em in Moc Croc and white!!

 

[tuppence]

Tell me you don't own two pyramid phones!!! That would just be selfish.
What is the small box that matches the cream phone? I have just never seen any in green. Do you have one in black in the servants quarters! WOW
Oh silly me, is it a money box to save for your phone bill?

 

[BinkieBaumont]

Tuppy, The "Ivory"pyramid phone is a 232 Model from the 30's whilst the "jade green" phone is a 300 series from the 40's they were also made in "Chinese Laquer red" which is the rarest of colours.

The little "Box" is for putting people on hold, it has a wind up mechanism like a musical box and plays "Cocktails for two" well it must be 5.00pm somewhere!!!

The pull out tray contains dialling codes so i dont have to go through the operator, who i allways think listen in on my calls

I was at the demolition of a wonderful waterside Art Deco mansion in Drummoyne one day and should have bought the white Bakelite phone...then again I should have grabbed the leadlights as well and...and....such is life!:rage: :rage: [huh] [huh]

Re you next pair of specs...definitely English tan and off white combo to complete the exercise...

Spectator/Wingtips for the "Gels"

Pretty Impressive pair of shoes for the "Gels"

 

[ChazVanEyck]

I have tried my hardest to locate a pair of shoes like these. I've searched high and low. I even searched for months on here with no luck. Maybe someone can point me in the right direction? Any help would be greatly appreciated!


I think I may have nicked this photo from eBay once.
