I'm on an iPad, perhaps it's the same. At the bottom of the Reply field is a button for Upload A File. I then navigate to my photo gallery and choose the photo. You may be seeing something different, though? -

We have not yet tried this toaster. Definitely will be testing the wires first. (Sitting on my porcelain table manufactured in 1939.)- Farace

Vintage Appliances
I'm new here, and I just spent an enjoyable hour or so reading the entirety of this thread. I'm another of those folks that will repair before replacing, until something finally gives up the ghost. (I can't tell you how many times I've had the dryer apart.) Part of the thread, talking about gas...- Farace

Resistol questions
I finally did hear back from my email to Resistol regarding my query about whether they could supply me with a sweat band. They said their outlet center can replace sweat bands and gave me the phone number. Can't call now, but it's something for the near future to see what the cost would be and... -

What do you use to shave?
I have a number of vintage razors by Gillette, Schick, Gem single-edge, and others dating from the '20s or '30s up to the '70s, and use those from time to time.

Vintage trains
I'm new here. Are trolleys allowed in the trains thread? I am a volunteer trolley operator at the Shore Line Trolley Museum in East Haven, Connecticut. I am on the right in the photo below. I try to dress the part, with a jacket, etc., but when it's hot, we're down to shirtsleeves and a vest if...- Farace

Resistol questions
Hi, I recently "won" (didn't really "win" anything, I had to pay for it!) an auction on eBay for a Resistol Jet 707, original list price $28.50. A couple questions: 1) I realize from reading other threads that there's no way to accurately date the manufacture of this hat. There is an original... -

I presume this is the place one introduces oneself? My interest in hats, while not nearly as rabid as most here, must have begun at a young age. I have a photo of myself a couple months shy of three years old wearing a colonial tricorner hat as part of a costume during my hometown's tercentenary...
