    My kind of place

    Wasn't quite sure what thread to revive for this, so just enjoy the picture. :) Stolen from Lee Sinatra in 1930s World on Facebook.

    Underwear

    I did a bit of searching but didn't come up with any answers. I am looking for better quality mens underwear. I wear plain white boxer briefs which used to be readily available at most any store but are no longer. They must be ordered unless I happen to be in the right spot to stumble onto them...

    USS Hornet

    Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere on the forum. I intended to put it up earlier. Incredible images from over 3 miles deep...

    Sixty five bucks a month

    Wouldn't have been for me, but I'm sure 65 semolians a month for a new house was attractive.

    Cast iron

    I am a user of cast iron, not a collector. I have several pieces (6 or 8) that are my regularly used cookware. I buy what I like, usually in somewhat rough condition, and restore it myself. I like the idea of using something that has served so well for so many decades. My most recent and...

    Washing wool flannel

    I have recently picked up a very nice wool flannel shirt. It appears unworn but it has an odor from storage that I would like to remove. Woolite in the tub? I have one of those Dryel kits available as well. Any advice to offer would be appreciated. I did a bit of searching but didn't find what...

    Removing corrosion odor from aluminum

    Hello. I recently happened upon a really nice looking set of salt and pepper shakers. They are not marked, but look very much like a match for the Kromex canisters from the '50's, which are also currently on my list to acquire. The pepper is fine. A good cleaning and it is ready to go. The salt...

    New Western Electric Telephone

    I know there's interest here for these. I've never run on to one in the box with the paperwork. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NICE-NOS-New-Old-Stock-Western-Electric-Rotary-Dial-Telephone-Box-Model-500DR-3-/281682816412

    Telechron clock repair

    I recently purchased a Telechron Pharaoh clock on ebay. As it turns out, it is good that I didn't pay much for it, as the description and the actual condition are far apart. In any case, I would like to repair it since it runs well and very quietly and I enjoy making old things usable again. The...

    Painting a bread box

    I would like to have a metal bread box in our kitchen. My wife has agreed to this as long as it looks good- not scratched up, no rusty spots and matches other things we have. I have had no luck finding anything that passes inspection for a reasonable price, actually for any price. I have a box...

    D-Day on the radio

    The Big Broadcast this week on WAMU features 4 hours of broadcasts heard on D-Day. I listen to a lot of OTR, but this is really remarkable. If you want to hear it, it will only be available for this week since the stream is changed every Monday after the Sunday night show...

    My new toaster

    When I was a kid, I ate a lot of my meals with my Grandfather. Toast was a part of nearly every meal, and the toaster was permanently plugged in on a side table within reach of his chair. I have never since had toast as good as that old Toastmaster cranked out. Crisp on the outside and still...

    Reattaching wood fruit crate labels

    We have 2 or 3 wood fruit crates from the 40's that have original paper labels. These were in the house when we bought it. The former owner lived here for nearly 60 years. The labels are generally in good condition, since they were in the basement standing on end with the labels up, but the...

    Never on Sunday

    If we could go back to it, would you bring back most all of the stores being closed on Sunday? I really don't think I'd miss it. I recall being able to get a paper at the smokehouse or pool hall and a jug of milk and a loaf of bread at the grocery after church for a couple of hours, with a...
