    The rise and fall of manly headwear

    I agree about just how serious this is. I was in Australia back in 96 and they took it very seriously. Small children wouldn't be allowed to attend school unless they had a hat on. Amusement parks had free sun block/screen available and on water rides you either put it on, or didn't go on it...

    Smokers and non smokers, what do you do, what do you think?

    The funny thing is that the reason I started smoking in the first place was far from trying to look cool. I was a grown man, who had never smoked in his life. I was acting in a play and reading through the script in a small Greenroom with no windows, or ventilation and nine smokers, it was very...

    Someone should buy this...

    Wow I love these, too rich for me at the moment, though I'm happy with the catalogue I got yesterday, its going to take me days to get through its over 1000 pages of 1939 fashion and style. Thanks for giving me the opportunity of seeing these two items Havershaw. Regards Phil

    Army & Navy Stores General Price List 1939-40

    I bought a repro of the Army&Navy stores Ltd General Price List 1939-40 today and it is wonderful to look through. It is a fully illustrated catalogue covering everything you could possibly need, or want that was available in England in 1939. The list seems endless, with such things covered as...

    Smokers and non smokers, what do you do, what do you think?

    I was a guitarist myself Michaelson and smoking seemed fine to me as well. Though I have to admit it doesn't help the vocal chords too much. Still today is my one week marker without smoking and I don't feel too bad. Regards Phil

    A colored look at the Golden Era.

    Hi Wild Root I love these images. I see Dick Powell was appearing at the Capitol Theatre, a singer who in my opinion was very underrated and who is often overlooked today. Thanks for sharing these pictures. Regards Phil

    Oldie Telephones!

    Its great seeing these, it just speaks volumes about the style of yesterday when compared with todays cheap plastic. These remind me of the Gramophone I used to have, it was an original HMV London made self contained model with horn built into the box and brass needle box onboard. It sounded...

    An actors life

    During the 90's I was a stage actor and got the opportunity to wear some great original costumes and uniforms, which when I work out how to get pictures up I'll post for you to see. In most productions it was the standard repros that you'd expect. However in three shows all the costumes were...
