Hello everyone, ladies and gentleman.
I show you mi desk clock, inherited from my grandfather. I hope you like it.
It's from the brand "Europa" made in Germany, I think it's from early 50's but I'm not sure. The left clock it's of course, a clock, mechanically very interesting, with alarm...
Don't be discouraged my friend, I don't think neccessary to delete your post. Soon or later someone with your same type of collection will appear and appreciate your post.
I do not collect matches by myself but I have a huge collection of vintage match boxes (full of matches) inherited some...
Probably most of the counterfeits are in America due it's prohibition, wich probably increases the price astronomically and the difficult of obtaining. Also the prohibition means that to buy them you will need to make business with people that will not give you any type of guarantee, and in...
You have reason. I know not all americans drive Cadillacs or similar cars (was just an example), -nowadays american cities like New York are full of Toyota Prius! :p- but it's a fact that the gasoline costs have a direct influence in cars of each country.
In the 40's and early 50's all Europe...
Really railway is not excesively expensive (but are from far, more expensive than it was some years ago), it still being affordable. By example, Madrid to Seville (600 Km/372 miles) in a normal train would cost about 30 USD aproximately (and about 90 USD or more in high speed train, but the high...

Here are some photos of the Gran Via (main...
Maybe a little off-topic (sorry for that) but I answer your question:
The infraestructures are great, we have a large network of good highways and one of the most complete high-speed train network in the world, also the Metro (subway) in big cities as Madrid or Barcelona are great, fast and very...
A long trip with a golden era car (specially with american cars) is nearly impossible here in Spain -unless if you have the luggage full of banknotes-
Gasoline is now here about 8 USD per gallon (1,5 EUR/Litre)...imagine that with the consumption of a Cadillac Eldorado (and highways full of...
A great advantage of living in Spain is that you can buy the best -and of course authentic- cuban cigars (Montecristo in my opinion) in every tobacco shop just for a few euros.
Here is very traditional in wedding celebrations to give each attendant a good cuban cigar after the dinner/lunch.
To splintercellsz:
Wow! we have exactly the same hobbies and interests! (the only exception is singing...I sing like a drunken peanut)
I hope we can talk about military history, classic vehicles or coins, it's always a pleasure to find someone to have a good conversation about these interesting...
Good morning everyone
I'm new here, and I have always been interested in elegant way of life, but sadly nowadays it's not easy to see elegant gentlemen or ladies because the modern concept is the erratic confusion between "elegant" and "luxury" -or even "expensive"-.
This is the reason why I...
