    Barnstormer Regrets?

    Alas, it appears blethook's thread has gone to The Great Message Board In The Sky, he's no longer an active member and his Photobucket is defunct. Did anyone by chance save images of this coat? The idea sounds great.

    Everyday Fellows of the Golden Era?

    From Shorpy, the Hollywood High School "Traffic Squad" in 1933.

    Bumper stickers and license plates

    That must have been the case in Vermont as well. The attitude persists and it makes me crazy sometimes, though I'm slowly adjusting to the slower pace of traffic.

    Anyone interested in/wearing original military watches?

    I have my grandfather's Bulova A-11. I wore it all the time after he first gave it to me (I must have been 9 or 10, he died when I was 11) but over-wound it. I had it repaired when I graduated college but it only lasted a couple weeks and has resided in my jewelry box since. Someday I'll have it...

    Original Perry Mixed Batch B3

    Amazing piece. My grandfather's* was in the family until the 1960s or so. My dad wore it casually until it split down the back and then pitched it. I wish he had not. Someday I'd like to own a repo but I have other priorities for the money at the moment. *It might be the ground-crew version...

    Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests

    It would be hard to let that beautiful Bel Air go, but a '41 Ford ragtop would definitely ease the pain! I love that maroon color they used on the '41-'48 Fords.

    I have an LG G4 and my choices are also fairly limited.

    Where is the justice in this world? Why can't I get a phone case that looks like a Walter Dorwin...

    Where is the justice in this world? Why can't I get a phone case that looks like a Walter Dorwin Teague design??

    The Conversion Corral

    Looks pretty good right now! Seems like a dark gray ribbon would complement that shade of black quite well.

    Movies that had Great Initial Success and, then, Chirp, Chirp, Chirp

    It seems as though the Andy Hardy films were all cultural icons for their time that have been almost completely forgotten today.

    Boater faction!

    I hope you've got a raccoon coat to go along with your boater!

    Boater faction!

    Could you add some kind of orange accent to the black ribbon instead? Preserving the original band but getting the look you want without having to find new ribbon or change a hat that has survived.

    Stafford JC Penney Brand ?

    Right. And if it was good enough for Briggs Swift Cunningham II, it's good enough for the likes of you!

    Stafford JC Penney Brand ?

    I've always liked Stafford. They're one of the last brands you can count on for decently constructed, classic-looking basics on a budget.

    New Film - Dunkirk, Directed by Christopher Nolan

    I believe I read recently that the small boats that took part in the evacuation are permitted to fly a special Dunkirk Ensign. Wonderful tradition.

    Golden-Era Hot-Rodding

    Photos of pre-war hot rodding are rare enough, but just this evening I discovered some pre-WWII home movies of hot iron in action on the dry lakes--something I thought could only exist in memory and imagination. Edit: There's nothing new under the sun--Stanley Doble posted this years ago. Oh...

    Ok, so some things in the golden era were not too cool...

    A nice play on "Shrine of the Little Flower."

    Budget A-1 jacket

    Ok, I've gotta ask. According to the automatic translation from my browser the Taobao listing is described as "BRONSON vicious dog domestic vegetable-tanned goatskin A1 flight jacket A-1A-2 Men's leather jacket" Vicious dog? Edit: Never mind, I'll bet it means "dogfight."

    Buying A Pair Of Saddle Shoes

    I've been thinking about buying a pair of Muffy's SM-108 Soap-and-Saddle for casual wear with jeans. I'd like to accommodate my insoles since I do a lot of walking/standing and get plantar fasciitis really easily. I e-mailed Muffy's a long time ago but never got a response--does anyone know if...
