I've seen these enamel trays in antique shops before. They usually run around 25 or 30 bucks. I never really felt the need for one til I found this one in the thrift store for $4. It ought to liven up Thanksgiving a little, if nothing else.
Fred Harvey era stamped thunderbird pin. Back says hand made and sterling. No artist's mark.
I replaced the JBS branding iron pin that was on my Open Road with it.
Nancy picked this up at the flea market today. Unsure of the provenance. The H hallmark appears to be engraved with an electric engraver, so it's probably post war, and it's not marked for siver content. It's slightly over 1 3/4" in diameter.
It's been a long lot of years since I last saw strings of flags like that. They used to be a staple of used car lots and grand openings of anything. I don't know if they were banned around here or just fell out of favor.
Yep. Genuine imitation.
I'm sure everyone reading this thread has seen these images before, and countless others like them. AI is just the latest technology, but there's definitely nothing new going on.
Here's a not great, but real photo I took of a sure enough vintage roadside attraction. Since 1950, the Frosty Mug has been serving up some excellent hamburgers. The new interstate between Birmingham and Memphis bypassed this place several years ago, but from the size of the crowd there when I...
I found some more examples of AI generated images, since we've gone down that rabbit hole. Fantasy art. It's pretty cool, but I can see the potential for abuse. These were created by an artist on instagram who goes by the handle apastreimagined, in case you're interested to look at any more...
Very cool. However, don't be surprised either if it turns out to be an impressive work of AI generated art. The nonsense lettering on all the signage, including the building in the background, is a pretty sure giveaway. It seems to me that the machines are much more adept at rendering buildings...
If they fit when you've got them on, then I'd say go with it. They will stretch out over time and you don't want them flopping around too loose on your foot. In the meantime, get yourself a boot jack to make it easier getting them off. You can get a plain wooden one for pretty cheap, or go down...
It has been a good loooong while since I came across anything of this caliber in a thrift store...and it was only $5. I can remember a time when stuff like this could be had for well under a buck, but given the prices of everything these days I'm sure not complaining.
