Watch Chains
Thank you Skeet and Marc. I searched using "boutonniere" rather than "buttonhole," so I missed the post. The photo of FDR's is closer to the one in the Torchy Blane movies, as his had a round button, rather than a bar. As with FDR's and yours, Marc, the chain ran behind the lapel. I don't...- MrNewportCustom

Watch Chains
Boutonniere Watch Fob? Spent the day fighting a losing battle with a cold and watching TCM. The day's marathon was several Torchy Blane movies. In Torchy Blane in Chinatown (1939), reporter Torchy Blane (Glenda Farrell) has a boyfriend, Detective Lieutenant Steve 'Mac' McBride (Barton MacLane)...- MrNewportCustom

Gentlemen what is the ideal lady for you?
HD. That is why there are no physical characteristics in my description. My tastes run the gamut from your past dream to the dream you're living. I feel it's ludicrous to limit oneself to just one form of pulchritude, as one can never tell how their dream package will be wrapped. Yes, I do have...- MrNewportCustom

Tragic dimensions to what we do?
I'd felt this way most of my life: That I just didn't fit in anywhere. But, since joining the Fedora Lounge and getting back into photography, I've found the opposite to be true. The objects I'd collect were just that; lost, broken and abandoned objects. I was collecting what I, myself, was...- MrNewportCustom

Vintage Vestiges of Your Profession
I have a metal Pickett slide rule and an instruction booklet. Me and numbers don't get along very well, so I don't use either. But I did take a little time, years ago, to try to learn how to use it. I got addition down fairly well. Mine is yellow with a black leather case. The booklet is...- MrNewportCustom

Loungers' Pets
Your cat could be my cat's stunt double!! This is 'Tilla (short for Atilla the Fuzz), AKA Matt (because he likes to sleep in doorways). Same colors, marking, poofy fur and same blue eyes as Deckard! 'Tilla as a kitten. The problem with a kitten is THAT Eventually it...- MrNewportCustom

Gentlemen what is the ideal lady for you?
She is . . . She is the woman who will inspire me to spend the rest of my life doing my absolute best to be certain that she is as happy as she can be. She is the woman who will be above everthing else in my life; yet she won't want to be on a pedestal but, rather, at my side. She is the...- MrNewportCustom

Seeking info on bakelite vintage automatic finish nailer.
Yes. We sell them where I work. New ones, of course. But the company was founded in 1946, so I can be sure we sold them back then, too. The finish nailers and staplers have high-impact plastic bodies. Mallet-driven nailers and staplers have been around for quite a while, and you have the...- MrNewportCustom

It's my face - isn't it?
The only comments I've ever received pertained to the actual growing of the moss. (I face north a lot.) But, if you want your face to become a private citizen again, shave it off. I started growing a goatee January 1, 2000. A few months ago, I shaved off the beard part. . . . No one noticed...- MrNewportCustom

Show us your Thrift and/or yard sale finds
That is nice, QB! Good to see you back on the Lounge. I found this toaster at an antique mall in Yucaipa, today. It's a Samson Tri-Matic. I'd never seen a front-load toaster before. I saw it's front from about twelve feet away and knew it was something unique. It's eight inches high, eight...- MrNewportCustom

If "vintage" became the style of the next decade would you change yours?
Would I change? No. I think it would be good to see good taste and style return, even if it's just for a little while and entirely fake. Lee- MrNewportCustom

My first period suit !
That is a great suit! I'm currently looking for my first vintage suit: war years. It's a real learning process when you first start out. I hope I'll do as well as you've done with your find. You look great! Lee- MrNewportCustom

I think not. The inside faces are absolutely flat and smooth. They have seen fire, though. Plenty of evidence to that. [huh]- MrNewportCustom
