    Photos of hatters tools

    I was watching a period film and the housekeeper used a very similar brush with a matching dustpan. The bristles on my brush are quite soft but of course, the item is quite old. Despite its intended use as a dustpan brush, it works very well as a hat brush and that's how I will continue to use...

    WTB Suits and Clothing Sz. 36-38 chest 29-31 waist.

    If you become interested in acquiring something from a slightly later period, I have a 1952 double-breasted suit styled as late 1940s/early 1950s that fits those measurements. Feel free to check my eBay auctions for it.

    Do I have one of the dreaded USA-made Borsalinos? Unfortunately, no matter how much I play with the photo, I cannot read the writing (other than "Borsalino") on the sweatband. The underside of the sweat has the LCB stamp that's been mentioned here on 50s/60s hats. There is, of course, the size...

    Show us your TIES

    The other D'Lorah tie I found during a web search is also titled "Surrealism by D'Lorah" but has a completely different design. It's weird stuff, I was never a Dali fan when it came to his artwork but his ties are very interesting. [huh] On a bit of a tangent, this same source had about a...

    Not a Dali, but a D'Lorah... I can't find anything about these ties, only one other seems to exist on the internet. Any guesses on what this was meant to depict? Let's see... we've got a girl/woman, a torn scroll/page, some bugs, and what looks a bit like the Arc de Triomphe. I was just...

    Solving the butter dish debate....

    When it's hot here, I'm a wimp and put on the air-conditioning so I've never had the problem of the butter falling out of the bell and into the water.

    Solving the butter dish debate....

    Glad you found something that works for you! I use a Butter Bell. Soft butter whenever you want it and the butter stays fresh for a long time. I see them all the time in the thrift stores for just a few bucks. http://www.butterbell.com/how-to-use-butter-bell-crock/

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I just saw "The Immigrant" with Marion Cotillard and Joaquin Phoenix and must give it a plug since my friend Maja plays "Aunt Edyta" in the film. The story centers around a young Polish woman immigrating to America in 1921. It's beautifully shot, and the cast give powerful performances... well...

    Not vintage and not mine, but I can't resist sharing this eye candy that I spotted while out and about earlier today. A Lamborghini Aventador:

    What Are You Reading

    My tenth grade daughter just read that for school. I managed to get through high school and four years of college (including a minor in English Lit) without having to open that book. Right now, I'm reading "Nella Last's War, The Second World War Diaries of Housewife, 49". Granted, I'm still...

    Where were you 50 years ago when JFK was shot

    My brother worked in a building right next to the towers and witnessed this horrific event. He had some terrible descriptives concerning the people who jumped, which I won't repeat. Otherwise you'll never be able to erase the mental images they conjure... as I haven't.

    Britishisms sneaking into American vernacular

    I haven't read through this entire thread so these have probably already been mentioned but I used to love hearing my English grandmother say she was going to "spend a penny", lol! And, when I was a horse-mad 12-year-old, I once got very excited when my grandfather said he was "going to see a...
