I like the bamboo cane too. Celluloid handle?

Oh, I thought it was painted bamboo. Movie replicas...I'd like a lifesize running replica of the 1968 Mustang Steve McQueen drove in "Bullet" or the panhead Captain America bike Fonda rode in "Easy Rider".Ah, that one is part of my one of my other collecting hobbies, film prop replicas. It's a hand turned wooden cane based on John Hammond's 'dinosaur bone' cane from Jurassic Park.

I think I do remember that claim being made. The actor Dan Haggerty (Grizzley Adams) was the properties manager for Easy Rider. He sold Captain America bikes for yrs claiming they were used in the movie, when it was a known fact that most of the real bikes were destroyed during the filming of the final scene.Not to drift too far from topic, but did you see a few years ago they found one of the Bullitt Mustangs in a junkyard in Mexico?
Very cool, Mark, all of them. Imagine an ad these days with a description of the cloth used for suit and overcoat!November 1945....another Strat with THE Stratoliner!!!

That's good stuff. I don't have anything old but I have a few Stetson western posters my wife bought me a number of years ago. I believe she got them from the now closed Byrnie Utz in Seattle. I remember her telling me everyone was really confused as to why she wanted them. Going to have to hang those up.
I picked up 1957’s Miller stockmans summer catalog today. Will post some pics mañana, interestingly it has 3x, 4x, 5x and 7xCB Stetsons all in the same catalog...
I have been after a Singer Sewing Machine Shop sign for ages. They are as rare as rocking horse droppings.I asked the guys at Hat Guys in Oakland if they would be willing to part with one of their Stetson signs after they closed up shop but never heard back from them.
Good call DH, I’ll post them there shortly.I love looking through those old catalogs. In case you didn’t know, there is a dedicated Miller Stockman thread:
