    Question: Actor or Nazi?

    I have a question: I've been looking at this image for twelve years and I have no idea who it is. Was this man an actor or an actual Nazi? Because of the lighting, pose and photographic style, I'm going to guess that he was an actor, but who? Because WWII and this photo occurred within...

    Old Photos Not on the FL.

    While perusing a thread on old photographs on a photography forum, I found this image and thought I'd share it with my fellow loungers. It's not mine. WWII photos that you'll love! Here and here. One for the Ladies of the Lounge. Here. For those interested, the rest of the thread is...

    My Vintage Overcoat.

    On a trip to San Francisco for the July 4th weekend, I went to the Haight and found this overcoat in one of the many shops that line the street. I paid exactly $100.00 for it. It's in excellent condition. The yoke label The lapel label (next to the vertical wallet pocket) The...

    I just ordered these books.

    Everyday Fashions of the Thirties and Everyday Fashions of the Forties. Both are subtitled, "As pictured in Sears Catalogs." There are many more similar books available, most costing between ten to twenty dollars. Lee

    Musical Parodies.

    Indiana Jones is a huge favorite here on the Fedora Lounge, and for good reason. But with this thread I'm honoring the other Jones, the one actually of days gone by - SPIKE!! Pure Comedic Genius! Spike Jones has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, with his version of...

    A Bit of Light Reading.

    I love books. I also love fashion, especially vintage, and photography from all eras, and when all three are combined I go into a minor spending frenzy. So, imagine the warmth in my heart when this late Christmas present to myself arrived from Amazon, today. I got it on sale at $47.25, down from...

    Seeburg 100 Jukebox.

    I saw this in the back of a flooring store in La Habra that I went to today. I don't know the vintage, but it plays the "New 45 RPM records." The owner has had it for years. Lee

    Details, Details, and More Details.

    This thread is for Loungers who love photographing (and viewing photos of) vintage architechture. But, there's a small twist: This thread is for photographs of only certain details of vintage buildings. Not the entire building. Get in close, zoom in or crop in, to beautiful, unique...

    Antique Store Closing in Los Angeles. Everything at 60% Off!

    I wasn't sure where to post this - or even at all, since it's about a store - but yesterday, FedoraGent and I wandered the Los Angeles area to enjoy the weather and take pictures with vintage cameras. While we were out, we happened upon an antique shop at 1833 N. San Fernando Road. It's called...

    Actor Art

    Today, while delivering flooring to the home he's rebuilding after it was burned down a few months ago during the fires in the San Bernardino Mountains, I met Actor Art. I spoke with him for half an hour after I'd finished hauling boxes into his soon-to-be-completed home. By the way, his new...

    MrNewportCustom - Caught on Google!

    My brother was surfing Google Earth Street View and found . . . his brother!!! So, he emailed the screen captures to me. No! I wasn't sneaking out of some paramour's house! :D I remember this day. I was about to get into the Chrysler to go to work when a burgandy-ish colored...

    Ettiquete: Men and Bridal Showers.

    Pardon the intrusion, Ladies, but I have some questions: My younger brother is getting married next month (and again in October - to the same woman, of course) and yesterday he called to invite me to his bride-to-be's shower - TODAY. It didn't feel right to me, but I said I'd attend. This...

    Rythmitis.

    As I type this, I'm watching Rythmitis (1936) with Toby Wing and Hal LeRoy. I must say; there's a scene with a gent dancing on stilts! I'd never seen that before! He was GOOD! Are there any other movies with people dancing on stilts? What are some of Toby Wing's other movies? She played...

    New Pictures of Clara Bow. (Taken today!)

    I had the great pleasure of working with this wonderful actress and her husband. Here are my three favorite images, so far. Close-up. Who could resist a wink like this? The picture taken a moment later startled the neighbors. The yellow light in the first two is due to the...

    You blew it. But, somehow, it still worked out.

    Sometime during the early '80s, on a first date, I rang Pamela's doorbell, was greeted by her family and the two of us were off to see Cats at the Schubert, in Los Angeles. My route to the theater was simple: Interstate 10 west, interstate 405 north, Olympic Blvd. east, to Avenue of the Stars...

    A Collection of Vintage Documents, Ration Stamps and a Photo.

    My brother just showed these to me. They all came from our great aunt Bessie Chaplin (no relation to Charlie) and her husband, Roy. They lived in Hollandale Minnesota. Please excuse the color; I was so excited about copying them that I forgot to set the white balance. :eusa_doh: Enjoy...
