    I LOVE that G&H - what a beauty!! I've got a circa 1918-1920 Gibbs made Mauser in 318 Westley Richards caliber that has the same old patina.

    Let's show off some vintage instruments!

    My Conn Conqueror Tenor Sax made 1937 in original Conn case - the silver keys have tarnished - I don't play but I admire the workmanship:

    Smoking a cigarette like a cigar - no inhaling?

    This is a weird question, I admit, but I bought some English Oval (filterless) cigarettes to put in my cigarette case for period-looking photos. I keep them in the pipe tobacco humidor so they won't dry out. Anyway, I was bored last night, didn't feel like a pipe, and was out of cigars so I...

    Spade's Desk Lighter in The Maltese Falcon: Ronson Touch Tip

    Ronson Touch Tip Table Lighter Well, I've got to get one of these lighters for my "ode to the 1930s" desk top but I don't know much about them. I just saw one in the movie "Libeled lady" (1936) with William Powell, Spencer Tracy, Myrna Loy and Jean Harlow - the hotel scene near the beginning...

    Let's show off some vintage instruments!

    Chas, I have a Conn Connqueror just like yours - serial #279xxx - so a 1937? that I got from an uncle who was a musician. I may have to learn how to play the tenor saxaphone - it's in a Conn case with all kinds of mouthpieces - the only difference is that my Conn does not have engraving...

    Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds

    I hate to be in the minority here but I didn't like the film as a whole - I thought it pretty slow in parts - the main Nazi was terrific but everyone else was annoying, especially Brad Pitt - where did he find that accent? My wife fell asleep about a half-hour in but I gutted it out to the end...

    Any Vintage Lighter Collectors Out There?

    Actually, with the instructions in front of you it was pretty easy to disassemble the Model 51. Without them, however, it would have been pretty ugly. Now I need to fire the darn thing and I find, unbeknownst to me, that .380 auto ammo is scarce?! Are they just not making it anymore? John

    Mickey D, Nice collection! Are any of them made by MEB? I'm coming up Bupkis for any more info. on the internet. John

    Any Vintage Lighter Collectors Out There?

    I obtained a flip-arm lighter that has MEB in a triangle, US patent 1022140, Ambassador and Chromium Plate on the bottom. No other marks anywhere. The internet info that I can find seems to suggest this is an Austrian lighter from the 1930s but that's all I can find out. It's very art deco...

    Cigarette case

    I just obtained this nice cigarette case and wanted to share. This was the only cig-case thread out there. It has Stratton, Reg.Des 886136, Pat no. 851743, and Made in England on it. No silver hallmarks that I can find so it must be plated? It was $20 at the local show and looked sortof art...

    james cameron's AVATAR in 3-D

    I was sceptical but went to see it with my wife and another couple at the Imax 3D. I was speachless and I've never had 2 hours and 40 minutes go by so quickly. My wife was even less thrilled to be there and afterwards she couldn't stop talking about how wonderful the movie was the rest of the...

    Nathan, Thank you for the link. Terrific information about the history of the Thin Man series! John

    Public Enemies

    I finally got the Blue-Ray version and I thought the picture quality better than the threater which added to my enjoyment of the film this second go-round. I also really liked the extras that came with the disc that explained gangster technology and how the film was made. John
