I did forget I have one 1920's Dutch clock, and the Howard Millers probably have German movements. I do believe the rest is made here, though.
That's why most of my stuff is American made, too. It was all made 40 or more years ago, when American made was equal to made with pride and quality.
That's kind of what happened for me, too. I like to dress nice for the right occasion, but the right occasion seldom arises. I tried to be fairly casual, and just do a sport jacket/open collar shirt/slacks/cowboy boots thing for a wedding last weekend and I was STILL overdressed compared to 90%...
Well, it was a Colony Park. A tree fell on it, still only took a 300 dollar loss on it when I sold it lol
The guy offered me a second one for next to nothing, when I bought the 90, it was an 86, with a bad fuel pump. I wanted to take it, but I lived at home and Dad said NO.
Absolutely, no era is perfect, and I don't look at any era through rose-colored glasses. Not to mention you had the Korean War in there, too.
Also, I know every dirty perverted thing that goes on today, went on then, as well. The only difference is, airing all that dirty laundry was frowned...
I'm very "American-proud" Every TV, radio, lamp, clock, and stick of furniture (sans a few Japanese beer steins) were made in the good old USA. You know how far back you have to go to have an American made TV set? lol
He wasn't banned. He just feels he has been wronged and that he isn't welcome. I don't blame him. I left for a long time, because I felt that everyone here was looking down their noses at me, sans a few, who know who they are. I came back because I missed them and stopped giving a damn about...
When I had my 1990 Grand Marquis Wagon (not particularly old, but unique enough to draw some attention) I had people tell me it was "Straight from the Brady Bunch" all the time. Hmm...didn't know that was still in production in 1990 lol
Automatic opening doors, rear hatch, fancy lighting, televisions, power everything back up camera, touch screen radio, seats 7. I think it's got everything but a sunroof/moonroof.
I've had Chevrolets, Fords, Dodges, Buicks, Plymouths, Oldsmobiles, Pontiacs, Mercurys, Cadillacs, and I'm sure...
I guess I'm a little off from the majority, I guess. While, I love the 20's through the 40's, my favorite point in history is 1946-1964. America was great, we were prosperous. TV was good, radio was good, society was still decent and moral. I wish I could live then, perpetually lol
Got the better half a new car, yesterday. 2009 Chrysler Town and Country. We were Escalade shopping, but the insurance was too high for her. Very nice, very well-optioned machine.
On a related note, anybody in the market for a nice Bonneville? lol
I'm actually kind of waiting to not be able to log in one day, due to my non-stop defense of the guy. I think he was wronged and deserves an apology and reinstatement as bartender.
