Playboys on Parade!
Indeed! I prefer George Petty’s work over the Varga Girl. Alberto Vargas did elegant and sophisticated pinup whereas the Petty Girl was more the flirty cute-girl-next-door type. But I enjoy all of the pinup artists of the era just the same :D- Edward Reed

Vintage Food
My mom often made “Shit on a Shingle” or “S.O.S.” (cream chipped beef on toast) a common “wartime dish” she learned from her mother. My grandfather served during WWII and liked it so my grandmother made it…so my mom grew up on it. This was a traditional army recipe that was easy to make...- Edward Reed

Just acquired the extremely hard to find and oldest model of the Old Spice shaving mug gift box and it dates between 1938 and 1941. Because it was originally made and screen printed on a paper-thin wood veneer in Japan, this box type was no longer produced once World War II began. The original...- Edward Reed

Not familiar really but here is some info I found about that type… The first known advertisement was in 1935 and the latest mention was from a Bostitch pamphlet released in 1986. Steel construction with black crackle. As the style of the B5 stapler did not change over the years, it can be...- Edward Reed

Here is an interesting feature; the stapler has a flip plate to create a different shape of staple but I can’t figure out why you would need a staple like this…- Edward Reed

I thought I was finished with collecting 1930s/1940s office supplies but I was able to locate an elusive and rare Ace Pilot 402-V “Wartime Standard Model“ Victory stapler with a wood base! (circa 1943) Like many manufacturers a slight alteration to their offerings needed to be made due to war...- Edward Reed

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Yes I recognized the snow white reference . Really cool As for Meet John Doe it would have had more weight if he had jumped and I fully expected it to be a heartbreaker tragedy. If it is remade today he would have committed suicide for certain making him a martyr for the movement. But In the...- Edward Reed

Yes I watched that one this weekend as well! Very well done. I wasn’t too sure about it at the start of the film but it gets very deep and poignant in the second half. I was very impressed with gary cooper in that one!- Edward Reed

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
I believe I found the source inspiration for The Big Bang Theory! “Ball of Fire” (1941) Gary Cooper plays a character exactly like Sheldon Cooper and Barbara Stanwyck is their Penny! Excellent film! Very funny and a great look into the evolving use of slang! Perhaps it should have been titled...- Edward Reed
