    The Vintage Office

    Here's my wonderful adding machine, I think my model is from the 1940's. The base is bakelite, and at a handy angle, and the machine itself can be lifted from the base, so it is portable. The little dials are turned with the stylus to add and subtract, and there are directions for...

    Thank you, everyone!

    I don't know how to phrase this, so bear with me.... I want to thank all of you wonderful people here at the Fedora Lounge for posting without that horrible internet-slang.

    Alternatives to wool.

    I have a small problem - I am allergic to wool. I want to make and wear vintage suits and jackets, but I don't know what to use other than wool. Skirts are no problem, as slips and stockings prevent irritation, but those wool collars are horrible. I don't like to wear scarfs, either. Do you...

    Gregg shorthand

    I am currently teaching myself shorthand from a 1916 Gregg Shorthand textbook. I'm really enjoying it, and I was wondering if anyone here knows shorthand or is learning. I'd also appreciate any tips.

    I'm curious...

    What is the Fedora Lounge's story? I'm sure this question has been answered somewhere before, but I can't seem to find it.
