    Cigarette Cases and Cigarette Holders

    For the interest of those of you who still smoke and do it with style, I've posted a dozen or so cigarette cases and as many cigarette holders on eBay. http://www.ebay.com/sch/punxy/m.html?item=261332666509&ssPageName=STRK%3AMESELX%3AIT&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562 If the link doesn't work...

    A Question About Small Cigars

    I recently acquired a beautiful art deco Russian Karelian birch cigar case with a carved and painted decoration (the decoration may be French). When I was bidding on it on eBay, I thought it was a cigarette case, but when I received it, it turned out to be larger and deeper than a cigarette...

    1927 Newspaper Item re Bogart-Mencken Divorce

    I was going through some old Pittsburgh newspaper archives looking for information about a gas explosion disaster and noticed this small item on one of the pages from November 14th, 1927. I thought it was pretty amusing, considering where Bogey's career went...

    Our New Vintage Stove

    We really wanted a vintage stove for the house we're in the midst of building but didn't hold much hope - such things aren't often seen here on the Island and we couldn't afford the prices the vintage stove dealers were asking. But we lucked out when one turned up on Craig's List. And the best...

    FS - 75 Harris Tweed Jackets and a Business Opportunity...

    As some of you know from my posts in the Suits section, I'm seriously addicted to Harris Tweeds. I'm fascinated by the amazing range of patterns and the subtle blend of colors in the individual weavers' patterns. Alas, those hundreds (or even thousands) of unique weave patterns are a thing of...

    Vintage 2-Tone Green/Yellow Horsehide Jacket & Pre-WWI Unblocked Panama Hat

    I just posted a nifty vintage 2-tone green and yellow leather jacket, an early 1900s unblocked Panama hat (625 WPI), and some other goodies on eBay. Apologies for not first offering them to my fellow loungers, but I have no idea of their value and felt that eBay was the only option under the...

    Tracked Motorcycle - I want this sooo bad...

    Coming up at auction in Germany - alas, at an opening bid of 6000 euro, it's a bit out of my self-indulgent range.

    1920s Boater (7 1/4) and Monk Strap Spectators (11 B/C)

    I just posted these on eBay (along with some other little odds & ends). If anyone from the lounge buys any of this stuff, I'll split the postage cost. http://my.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MyEbayBeta&CurrentPage=MyeBayNextAllSelling&ssPageName=STRK:ME:LNLK:MESX

    How To Build A Newsroom Time Machine

    Students attempt to put out a newspaper the old way - with typewriters, cutting and pasting copy, and processing photos in a makeshift darkroom: http://journoterrorist.com/2011/08/02/paperball2/

    Hat Styles, 1901

    A bit early for the golden era, but it's interesting to see the roots of some of our hat styles. These are scans from a 1901 Eaton's (Toronto) catalog.

    Vintage Tech: The 1st Public Cell Phone Network

    We take cell phones for granted, but it wasn't that long ago that they were a futuristic dream. Here's an interesting film promoting the first public cell phone network in 1979. The clothes they're wearing are pretty amusing too... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecl2ZO2MnTI&feature=uploademail

    When Real Men Set Motorcycle Speed Records

    This is Rollie Free riding a Vincent on his 1948 world speed record run on the Bonneville flats. Not only did he have a unique riding style that involved removing the seat and lying prone on the rear fender to reduce wind resistance, but in previous runs he found that the wind was...

    Striped Dress Shirts - What Kind of Ties?

    I really like striped dress shirts and have a dozen or so, from the subtle... ...to the rather flamboyant: (This one has one of those high, two button collars than doesn't drape well if left unbuttoned) Alas, I have a problem trying to figure out what sort of ties look right with them. I...
