Terms Which Have Disappeared
My goodness. What a thread! It does make me wonder, though.... I use the word "swell" to describe something brilliant or awesome that someone has done; when I run too many appliances from the same circuit and the power goes, I go check the "fuse box"; I tell people to "drop me a line" (even...- tealseal

Pocketwatches
Thanks for the reply. The movement looks clean. No obvious corrosion or rust. Is there a concern that any lubricant would have dried out and cause problems? I'll give it a shot and see what happens! Would it sound different if there was a problem?- tealseal

Pocketwatches
I've got a 1912 Hamilton that I picked up in the humidish climate of Ontario, Canada in 2011 in beautiful running condition from a qualified watch-doctor. Since I've moved down to Tucson, I haven't been keeping it wound like I should have, however I'd like to wear it again. Should I be able to...- tealseal

Óptimo Hatworks, Bisbee, AZ
It dried out like a champion. Just threw it on one of those plastic hat stands, no hat jack needed, and no shrinkage. I would encourage a visit if you're ever down Bisbee's way. Exactly! Thank you very much for the kind word. -TS -

How to travel with hats
I travel with my Blue Smoke VS often and can't say I've ever had any problems. In the United States, I've more often than not received compliments on my hat from the TSA! When departing from the USA I do the following: At security, I put my hat in the same bin as my shoes, crown down; I put... -

The International Wool Felt Consortium
+1 to this. I have fond memories of my Bailey's wool felt hat. It was an inexpensive way to try out hat wearing, and, while doing so, showed me why I needed to save my pennies up for a fur. Once my woolie shrunk too much for my head, I passed it on to another fellow whom it fit, and now he... -

Classic train movies
Wow everyone! Thanks for all the suggestions and recommendations! The trip was wonderful, but we did spend a lot more time looking out the window than watching movies or playing games. That being said, I still am collecting the films everyone recommended and will be watching them (I love...- tealseal

Classic train movies
Hi all, Later this month, my father and I will be doing the California Zephyr from Emeryville to Chicago. It's something we've always wanted to do. One thing I thought might be fun was to assemble a collection of classic train-related movies for the trip, but I'm coming up short on ideas...- tealseal

Introduction
Dapper-Dan, Beware of the new Biltmores. I've heard that they are no longer made in Ontario. However, depending on your budget, I'm sure that Gary White in Buffalo will sort you out with a lid that you'll love, will fit well, and will weather almost anything. A quick Google suggests that you... -

Will rain water spoil a good felt hat?
I probably treat my hats in manners that would shock many on this forum, but here's my $0.02: My 100% beaver hat has been worn outside for 30-45 minutes many times during monsoon season here in AZ. Monsoon season rains mean LOTS of water from the sky VERY QUICKLY. I went outside to stand in... -
