    What was their view of them? Asking because I’ve seen a photo of my step grandpa (b. 1917-1998) wearing a brown leather jacket in the early 90s and it surprised me. He’s the only one of that generation I’ve seen wearing one in a social situation.

    Help determining the name/brand/style of previously owned (likely) Golden Era bedroom furniture?

    Hi, Back in the 90s my parents had a bedroom set that to me looks like it could've been from The Golden Era. The pieces were bought sometime before my birth in 1990, because they were already part of our household before I was alive. Over the years they were either thrown out or given away. I...

    Wide collars in the 40s?

    So I came across this photo of Elvis Presley, taken in 1946 If you didn't know the photo was of Elvis or that it was taken in 1946 you'd swear by the collar it was taken in 1976 instead. So my question is, were wide collars such as Elvis' there common in the 1940s or was he just way ahead of...

    I can't remember exactly (these pictures are from 20+ years ago) but I will say I doubt it was straw because the first two pictures (in the car) were taken in December 1995, and he wore this particular hat at times during the winter around that time. Probably felt or cotton. Do you have any idea...

Tallulah Bankhead on Bette Davis: “Don’t think I don’t know who’s been spreading gossip about me. After all the nice things I’ve said about that hag. When I get hold of...

    1940s/1950s World War II History or Encyclopedia set?

    Bump.... They had red bindings and possibly red and gray on the covers. This photo taken before 1960 suggests there were 10 or more volumes in the set. They're on the second shelf on the first photo:
