    Post New Hats Here!

    Garret, that is one gorgeous addition. That greenish hue that comes out of it is perfect.

    What pens are we carrying today?

    Beautiful collection, Shangas! Love the case as well! The Shaeffer PFM writes great. The snorkel on this one works better than some other older snorkels I've had. No surprise there. The medium nib is outstanding on it. Aside from being a handsome design, it flows nicely and doesn't smudge like...

    What is your favorite Scotch Whisky?

    I'm partial to Islay malt. I never run out of Lagavulin 16. I enjoy Ardbeg (Uig), and I use Bowmore Legend as it plays well in the Scotch based cocktails I make. Outside of that, I keep a bottle Oban 14 on the bar as another mainstay and whatever else ends up there due to curiosity or a good price.

    What pens are we carrying today?

    Picked up this burgundy Shaeffer PFM III in it's case today for $30. It was still in good shape internally, but I had a new sack and seal kit that fit it so I cleaned it out and replaced them. I was online trying to narrow down the date of this one and I noticed that the ebay auctions for...

    The Martini

    I think a large part of why the modern martini has become increasingly dry is that most people, bartenders and consumers don't accept that vermouth oxidizes fairly quickly and starts to taste really bad. Vermouth like all aromatized wines will change dramatically if not used within a couple of...

    Pomade

    Little display of labels carefully removed from bottles of 20's hair tonics. I'm glad we don't have to use this stuff anymore. Some of it was very intense stuff. I have a few other framed archives of categorized product labels from the era.

    WWI - The war in the air

    If you haven't seen the movie The Great Waldo Pepper, it's a decent WWI flying period piece from the 70's. The story revolves around the post war propagation of barstorming, wingwalking, and flying circuses. There's good footage of spads, sopsaps, and the fokker tri....not to mention a very...

    Great Shoe Shine Stands across the nation

    That's a handsome shine box, Mr. Galt. That's certainly been my experience. I've stumbled on to quite a few of these kits stuffed with old polishes, rags, and brushes. I have one at home and one at the office. Here's the one at home.

    L. A. Noire (video game)

    I have enjoyed playing this game. A friend recommended it so I took the plunge and picked up a console and the complete version game with the extra cases. Recent modern attempts to market period piece entertainment usually leave me anywhere from unimpressed to offended. So far this one is better...
