    Fedora Lounge Stocking Stuffer

    Found it here: http://makeupmag.com/storeindex/cPath/161/ Is that still the shop of the Lounge? Well, the shipping fees for non-US members are a bit high. $42.5 for just one small package seems a bit much.

    Diner mugs

    Have seen the page too and maybe I take one of them. They even have some nice Elvgren Pin-up motives there. And there is this artist with these interesting retro future things: http://www.zazzle.com/retropolis_travel/gifts?cg=196670795139047998 But, well, I once had a nice heavy vintage mug...

    Diner mugs

    Do you maybe know a shop where one can buy a retro diner mug with a personalized picture or motiv and who would ship internationally? I always find shops for commercial advertising business where I can only order high quantities. What the heck should I do with 70 and more mugs? :eusa_doh: But...

    Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.

    @jamespowers I know what you mean. It's the same with many watch collectors who don't collect or even know much about vintage watches. There are thousands of discussions in some boards all over the world where someone pops up and asks after buying a very nice vintie if it is really a mens watch...

    Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.

    One of my latest catches which I got from a fellow Hamilton collector: The Paige of 1940/41 with the rarer dial variation (gilt dial with black marker). It's a really cute beauty of the art deco era even while it is quite small with only 34 x 28 mm. It is still a men's watch but one of the...

    Berlin museum breaks Nazi taboo with Hitler exhibition

    There certainly are some who want to have those old times back. As I said above even here in Germany we still have neo-nazis. This kind of movement and thinking still exists in the world and as far as I know even in Russia (where it seems a bit ridiculous considering that Hitler and his “gang”...

    Berlin museum breaks Nazi taboo with Hitler exhibition

    It may not be a problem in the rest of the world, but in the German mindset it clearly is until today. I think many people of other countries don't understand this psycholocigal thing or problem that Germany has until today with this special past. Especially our politicians are so, how should I...

    What is your favorite aircraft of all time?

    For me there are three aircrafts I like above all others. 1. the P-51D Mustang, such a beauty and fast machine. I think you all know a pic of it ;) 2. The "Tante Ju" Junkers Ju-52 I had a small model of it as a child and lately I even could fly in one of the last remaining and still in...

    What sparked your fascination with the "Golden Era"?

    Different things and I am sure others were influenced by similiar things too. The more personal "spark" was probably that I lived during my childhood in Weimar and later Plauen (both Eastern Germany) where there are many art nouveau buildings and in the case of Weimar influences and strong...

    Unpopular movie opinions...

    After seeing yesterday Jim Carroll I think Leo would have been the better choice for Anakin Skywalker in the Prequels of Star Wars.

    Anybody else excited about L.A. Noire(video game)

    Looks intersting, but since I lack a PS or XBox and not want to buy one, I don't think it will be something for me. I am more the type of an old school PC gamer grown up with games like Wing Commander, TF and those amazing point and click adventures or some of the complex strategy games and...

    Unpopular movie opinions...

    Totally agree with that and what calendargirl said. When I saw Ryan in a cinema I even had to fight to keep my eyes open. It was like a kind of field trip into france during a war time. Endless walking and before it gets too boring, we need some "abrakadabra" machine gun in the middle of nowhere...

    Fashion models of the Golden Era - Top Models or normal women advertising clothes?

    That they did not use modern techniques for the retouching is clear, but I really thought they would be known a bit more. Depends on what is thought as perfect. But I know what you mean. Personally I think most models of today seem to look like children and that makes me wondering about the...

    Fashion models of the Golden Era - Top Models or normal women advertising clothes?

    While I was reading and rummaging through the scans of the Life Magazine in google books and looking for clothes and inspirations through various sources I was wondering a bit how it worked then. Were they famous faces and well known stars in their era or did the magazines and agencies just...

    Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.

    :eusa_clap Amazing pocket watches! Someday I have to buy one for me too. It's something I am thinking of lateley even if I don't wear it so often. They are just amazing. But until then I have a "new" toy to wear, the Hamilton Lawrence from 1936:

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    The Wind That Shakes the Barley - a movie about the early IRA during the 1920s. Its a story about two brothers in ireland fighting for the freedom of their country but ultimatly ending on different sides of the conflict and getting enemies. A very interesting story and it created a touching...

    What else do you collect?

    Vintage Hamilton watches from the 1920s until the early 1950s is one of my main fields in collecting things. But I also collected AD&D books even while I wasn't an active player since 5 or so years. Oh and I still have a growing collection of movies esp. those old film noir things but also...

    Have any other men noticed this?

    I noticed it with Jeans in Europe too. Ten years ago I needed a jeans with the waist width 30 or 31 and today I need a 29*. :D I was always wondering why I need now a smaller size than ten years back all the while I never got more on my hips and still weigh the same as ten years ago. Another...

    favorite cars of the golden era

    I forgot to mention that I have another dream car. OK, not the Golden Era, but at least vintage too: http://www.motortopia.com/cars/1973-ford-falcon-xb-9763 The good ol' Falcon from Mad Max would be a car I really wanna have someday if I find one and have the money it will be painted and tuned...
