This ad is for an honest-to-goodness vintage-style 10" by 14" heavy gauge porcelain enamel sign with brass riveted corners just like from the days before World War 2. I tracked down one of the last porcelain sign manufacturers in the country... and found that they are right here in Cleveland in...

Hi Guys -
A friend of mine would like to know what kind of watch an aviator would have worn and used during the 1919 - 1939 era. He doubts if a pocket watch would have been an option, but he's not sure about that. Any info on makes and models would be most appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Guys...
Sorry if this has already been discussed, but I couldn't find it anywhere... does anyone have any experience with the USMC replica boots from "WW II Impressions"? (I don't know how to post photos, but if you scroll almost all the way down the page you'll find the description of...
Hi Folks - I recently purchased Dennis Lively's 2 DVD set entitled "Vintage Fountain Pen Repair" and "Vintage Fountain Pen Repair Vol. 2." If you are interested in repairing old fountain pens, or if like me you just wanted to see how it is done and be able to converse with pen repairmen...
I am desperately trying to find a sport coat that has unpadded shoulders, preferably in a Harris Tweed. I've been looking at a lot of period photos of men from the 1930s, and their jacket's shoulders often are as rounded as the guys' own shoulders. Today's jackets seem to go straight out from...
How about Filson?
All this talk about classic clothing has me wondering about Filson's offerings... anyone have any experience with, say, their Mackinaw Cruiser? Supposedly, it hasn't changed much since 1914. I like the look of it, and the fact that it's pretty much a bullet-proof...
I've sure enjoyed the "What could you do without?" thread... and it has me thinking of what I would _change_... say, if somebody made me King (Dictator, God?) for a few days...
I think I'd make the national speed limit 40 mph. All cars would have governors on the engines that would keep them...
Hi folks - I'm moving this summer and have started the "cleaning out" process... and I stumbled upon a big box of Leica Screw Mount cameras stuff that I bought at a Cleveland camera show a few years ago, but no longer need. This is an almost 2 foot high stack of Leica literature... you could get...
Hi Folks - I have an extra copy of _The Best of the Chap_ for sale. As many of you know, The Chap is a terrific magazine from England that focuses on good manners, elegant dress, and chivalry towards the ladies, all served up with a healthy dash of (sometimes bawdy) British humor. The book I...

Hi Folks - Anyone here ever watch the great old British television series "All Creatures Great and Small?" It's about a country veterinarian in the 1930s, and was based on the best-selling semi-autobiographical books by James Herriot. The first three years of the show are the most satisfying...
