    The MK Falcon: The Time Has Come

    "The stuff that dreams are made of..." Looking up at the magnificent falcon statue perched above my desk, I felt I just had to return to this thread and thank MK again for doing another run of his fantastic bird. It's such an amazing piece of art, and MUCH more accurate than any other bird...

    Can anyone identify the woman in this 1930s photo?

    My suggestion is to post the image on EBAY with a twenty five million dollar starting bid, claiming it's an authentic autographed picture of the Virgin Mary. Once it gets the typical media attention and people all over the world check out the auction page, someone is bound to come forward and...

    The MK Falcon: The Time Has Come

    Mine arrived yesterday. Looks beautiful! It's heavier than I thought it would be. I'm wondering if I should scratch the enamel off the front to see if there's gold and jewels underneath? Great job MK. Thank you. :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

    The MK Falcon: The Time Has Come

    Why is it that when I look at this picture I can hear the sounds of B-29 Bomber engines warming up and the opening bars of "The Ride of the Valkyries?" Fly my black beauties! Fly to every corner of the world!:eusa_clap

    Is it The End Of Newspapers?

    I think the huge national newspapers lilke the New York Times and the WSJ need to accept that they are no longer the place people go for news. By the time a paper gets an edition out with a big headline, that same story is old news on the internet. But as the larger papers die off, I think...

    Help! Smoker Smell!

    I've had good luck boiling a big pot of vinegar and water on the stove, and then hanging the smokey items in the steam. But I guess it would depend upon if your particular items can be safely steamed or not. (Or you could just tell everyone that you spent this week in Southern California and...

    Sears Christmas 1945

    Thanks! I couldn't find the address. I went ahead and mailed in my order to Sears and Roebuck, 14 Kansas City, MO using this old postage stamp that the creepy street peddler gave me (he said it was "just what I needed") and this morning all my packages arrived! I'm making tea with the...
