    My Father's H.O. Scale Trains.

    Wowee, great stuff sir! Can't wait to see the rest.

    LADIES of the Lounge Calendar

    I suggest a monthly calendar... one for each lady, that is.

    Your most hideous vintage tie.

    I wonder if Mario Puzo owned it once....

    Show Us Your Oldest Books

    Beautiful stuff, everyone! I recently started collecting vintage publications, though my items are certainly not as ancient or magnificent as the ones shown here. Well, except for.... Say Quigley, what year is this one from? I think I have the same book, only sans dust jacket (and in spanish).

    How Large IS the Vintage Culture?

    Oh, I wasn't complaining, I perfectly understand your point. It's just that I have this (probably mistaken) notion that there's more of this in California than anywhere else in the country. Don't know where I got that one, really...

    Real Time Capsules

    I remember that a few years ago my high school celebrated an anniversary with a time capsule to be opened in the unbearably distant year of 2015. The contents were left in charge of the students, thus the school's record of civilisation consisted of a newspaper, a blanket, an old broken game boy...

    How Large IS the Vintage Culture?

    I think the culture, or should I say, the number of events, people and places that cater to it, is pretty large... and from the looks of it, 50 to 80% of it is concentrated in California.

    Do you know this MGM movie artist?

    You're welcome! And thanks to you too for posting these nifty pictures, I almost went crackers when I first saw them. It only took those few examples I linked to to make me a fan of this guy. Marvelous stuff.

    Do you know this MGM movie artist?

    Eeep! That's Jacques Kapralik! His medium was a combination of illustrations and scale models called 3-D Paper Structure. Absolutely brilliant stuff, and not exactly easy to come by, at least on the internet. See a few more examples here.

    Glaring Film Gaffs! (Or: The Dry Look in 1917?)

    I just remembered.... There's a recurring blunder that always gets in my nerves, and that's the telephone cords. Many a period film set before the late 40's has at least one phone with a modern, plastic-wrapped spiral cord instead of the correct, straight, cloth covered ones. Really ruins the...

    Leica: Golden Era camera

    Aaah, Leica. Sometimes I think that if I had one I'd be too intimidated to use it (and even more to pay for it!). (By the way, nifty camera Major!)

    Golden Era Cultural Icons

    Interesting subject. Only unfamiliar names to me were Father Coughlin and Andy Gump. To the list of popular figures from the 30's I can one of my heroes, Robert Ripley. His Believe It Or Not! cartoons, odditoriums, films and radio shows were quite popular at the time. Or so I think.... And I...

    Product tins - Canned tape?

    Neat graphics on the tin. I have a mid 50's Scotch electrical tape tin, which is currently housing what's probably the family's only home movie.

    Glaring Film Gaffs! (Or: The Dry Look in 1917?)

    I beg to differ mac, that guy's hair style is actually somewhat correct for Zhivago's early 20th century period... (click) Now for some glaring boners on film, I can remember.... - Modern cars in Chinatown - Missing trolley wires in Who Framed Roger Rabbit - Very modern diesel train in The...

    Norconian Resort

    The name Norconian rang a bell for some reason, and now I know why. That's where the whole Disney studios crew had a massive wrap-up party after the opening of Snow White in 1938. Just imagine a whole resort full of several hundred drunk twenty-somethings (and a burro if I'm not mistaken) and...

    Your Personal Timemachine

    Where to begin.... On the ground: 1941 Ford Deluxe On the rails- New York Central 4-6-4 Hudson, and the rest of the Empire State Express On the sea- Le Normandie On the air: a Sopwith Camel (or any other biplane...)

    Name That Tune

    I don't know either, but for some reason it sounds like Fats Waller to me.
