    Dave Brown passed away

    Tourist cabins, auto and motor courts

    I made a search here and couldn't find anything on this subject, so I thought I'd start one for those who are likewise interested. If there is a thread here that I didn't find, please let me know and I'll fold this thread into that one. :) Seeing as how many of us here are fond of vintage gas...

    Period movie soundtracks

    I just recently decided to review my collection of period movie soundtracks (meaning movies that have featured popular, period music between 1920 and 1939), and was wondering how many I don't have yet...I was wondering if I could impose upon FL members to contribute to my list of music, as a...

    Vintage 30s SA FBI badges

    Well, I've looked just about everywhere for a reference photo of a 1930's FBI Special Agent badge, and I can't seem to get verification of what one looks like.

    Pants Fasteners

    Folks, Just a quick question (that I couldn't answer via a search): Can anyone tell me (approximately) what year(s) the little, chrome flat hook/clasp on men's pants waistbands came into fashion, and replaced the button? I seem to recall seeing a photo of a pair of late 20s-early 30s suit...

    Terminator: Salvation

    Who's ready for it? It's the most fun a person can have, trying to figure out the predestination paradox....;) I've been a fan of the franchise since the first movie, and can't wait to see what McG and Bale have in store for us in the latest incarnation.... Rob
