    Vintage and other shopping etc. in Lisbon?

    (I hope this is the right sub-forum for this) Leaving for three weeks in four hours. With the little wife. This is sort of a belated honeymoon, so we're willing to spend a bit for quality. We're staying at some hotel called Eden, which is smack in the middle of town, for the first four or...

    Wedding photos! (Slightly thirties-style)

    OK, so this was almost a month ago - I've been receiving pics in my inbox since then, so this is a digest of the least untolerable ones... Question: First or last pic to be sent out with the thank-you cards? .

    I found an 18thC table in the attic - pictorial

    My fiancée and I went up to see my parents last week, and to show her where I partly grew up. So I showed her around, and we opened up an old outhouse on a farm that was last inhabited in the early fifties. Seeing this gave me quite a start: It turned out to be a late rococo/early...

    Max Raabe! German 30s show music

    I would think that this German singer has been mentioned here a few times already, but I think he and his Palast-Orchester deserve another mention. They do classic "Comedian Harmonists"-style ca. 1930 dance/show music. A search here turned up no youtube links, so here goes: Oops I did it...

    Oslo 1945 film shoot - took lots of photos

    This is from the shooting of a film about the Norwegian war hero Max Manus, they did the scenes from the 1940 invasion and the 1945 victory celebrations around the corner from where I work. It was a bit unsettling to sneak out for a coffee and find the parliament building like this (not my...

    Stuff from the breaking of the SS France/SS Norway

    I saw this mentioned in another thread; and I just happened to find a page where some of the stuff is sold: http://www.ssnorway.no/shop/ http://auksjon.qxl.no/SS_Norway Among tons of other things, they have a few crew uniforms (from the SS Norway manifestation, I'm afraid).

    Bought a table from a 30s cabaret theatre

    Art deco side table, with electric light fitted under the glass top. The (later) fabric under the glass will be leaving, together with the rotted cord. The light will make an excellent bedside table - nice, soft lighting. It's from a 30s cabaret theatre ("Chat Noir") here in Oslo:

    Vintage shopping in Berlin, anyone?

    I'm going there for the weekend - any tips for good vintage shops (OK, and other shops)? As I actually prefer older stuff to new, I wondered if anyone has tips about thrift shops, flea markets, vintage clothiers and places like that. Also, any tips on fun & games there are very welcome.

    The Boys' Crusade - interview with Paul Fussell

    Hour-long interview, but well worth it. About growing up in middle-class privilege in 30s California, his experiences in WWII, and war in general. Good one.

    Roman holiday - pics of 40s Italian fashion

    By chance, I found a very nice exhibition about daily life in Italy in the earliest post-war period. Lots of art, posters, stills and clips from the neo-realist films, etc., and quite a few period costumes:

    Silk escape maps - perfect for scarves and pocket squares

    Some time ago, I bought a cold-war-era silk "escape map" for a present, and then had a few ideas about alternative uses: The idea behind these maps was that air force pilots would be able to carry a detailed, high-quality print map of the area they were flying over, in case they had to...

    Doing sweet FA at the FO: [As clever as this is, it is just simply too far over the line for our varied membership. I suggest you share it through PMs. -HJ]

    Show us your cigarette lighters and such!

    Well, as I'm new here, I don't know how popular showering the forum with photos will be, but here's a few of mine. First, three tattered old Ronson Varaflames: And my daily driver, in a smaller ("medium") size: Another fifties Ronson model: And a Dunhill pipe tool...

    I couldn't find a specific thread for cocktail shakers, so...(I hope this isn't too forward for a new member): And a set of cocktail pins and savoury forks:
