    Vintage Phones

    Only have a modest 1936 steel case black Western Electric 302. Have used it for years cuz I just couldn't abide the digitals my saintly wife likes. Plus it's the same one that was in my Grandparents house. Use it every day. The sound & the feel of a great old phone just cannot be beat. Plus...

    Rest in Peace Colby Jack

    Sorry I missed chiming in before. It was because of Colby Jack's Akubra Overload thread that I found the Lounge. Because of him I fell in love with wearing a proper hat. Thank's for all the sage advice here on the Lounge, and thanks for inspiring me to start this new passion. Condolences to...

    Akubra Overload

    Good List & THANKS. Only one that has me confused with all the hoopla here on the lounge is that the Stylemaster didn't make the top ten. But then again I am pretty certain the list reflects the far more immense sales in country and as a "working" hat rather than the rest of us out here...

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    The ONLY way I can get pics to load here is I first set up a free photobucket account & uploaded the pics to there - Then when I hit the insert image tab on the toolbar here I cut & pasted the ENTIRE URL from my photobucket page on the prompt. It did not work for me using my digital camera...
