    The Blues

    I generally don't go for later model blues artists... ...especially those that ride around in limo's, but I'm pretty impressed with Seasick Steve. Try him.

    Necktie Knots

    The Four in Hand Time for a confession: I wear ties every day to work and I always tie the windsor knot because I don't know any other way.[huh] This is tricky with vintage ties which tend to be a bit shorter than modern. Where can I go to learn different knots? All advice appreciated...

    The one that got away.

    Back in the 80's there was a wrecking yard near me that had somehow bought out the contents of a long beach CA speed shop in the mid 60's. I'd get what I could, but I was on a struggling student income. They had a couple of 3 foot high stacks of club plaques. They sell the in hundreds now...

    I love art deco, but...

    Have you looked at the artists other work? http://www.pastpresentfuture.net/art/hoppe/index.html Vintage posters can be expensive, but I cant tell wether its an original or a reproduction. How many have been printed? What guarantee do you have that they won't print more or repro...

    Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.

    And then I slide over to a sunglass thread... ....and it got me to thinking about how some things are priced or valued differently in different countries. I bought a set of eye glass frames a while back to convert into sunglasses. The best price I could find for fitting tinted lenses was...

    Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.

    I understand the work involved - I have had many units completely redone. Perhaps my guy is just giving me good rates. Took me a while and a lot of money to eventually find my repairer. He will also manufacture parts for discontinued and hard to get lines like Universal and Landeron chrono...

    Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.

    Crikey! That is a lot of money for a repair. Sounds more like a full resto for that price - shop around. Perhaps someone here can recommend a course of action?

    Who likes vintage tools?

    Nice resto work, very nice. :eusa_clap I can still remember the chewing out I'd get in wood shop if I left a hand plane on the bench face down! And that was more than 30 years ago:rolleyes:

    What Are You Reading

    Goshawk Squadron by Derek Robinson. Its a compelling account of flying and fighting in the skies over the western front in 1918. Can't put it down. Talbot

    Quickest means of travel from USA to Far East?

    Can't say about much earlier, but from 1935: 'On November 22, 1935, Pan Am began mail service across the Pacific, when the China Clipper took off with much fanfare from San Francisco Bay and flew to Hawaii, then on to Manila in the Philippines by way of Midway, Wake, and Guam. In October 1936...

    Older women with younger men and VICE-VERSA!

    A person's outlook determines thier age. One of the youngest people I know is Gil Askey - he's 84 and one of the most youthful people I have ever met. http://www.abc.net.au/gnt/history/Transcripts/s1151990.htm Talbot

    question on French cuffs

    Funny, I'd often wondered this as I only wear cufflinks with french cuffs. All my other shirts have convertible cuffs - seems like its the only way you can get them here. Try eBay Australia for shirts.
