    Briefcase Style

    I'm looking for a vintage one, so I won't be able to test it beforehand, but am I right in assuming that the top frame style is probably heavier given its frame? I'm afraid the Gladstone will look more like a suitcase; I suppose dimensions are important with that one.

    Briefcase Style

    Any sense on which is an older style? Any other gentlemen have feedback to offer?

    Briefcase Style

    I'm looking for some forum feedback on two briefcase styles: the flapover and the top frame/Gladstone. Is one style considered more vintage, or classier, than the other? Also, for those who have used the Gladstone style, what are your thoughts on it. I've only used the flapover style but need...

    Film Noir Office

    Fading Fast, Thanks for sharing these photos! What a beautiful place you have! What resources are you using for inspiration--films alone or other materials? Thanks for the inspiration!

    Film Noir Documentary

    I'm looking for recommendations on film noir documentaries. Has anyone seen anything good? I'm interested in not only the films, but also the pulp novels that informed them. I'd appreciate thoughts from the lounge before turning to google at large. Thanks.

    Film Noir Office

    (Forgive me if I am posting this in the wrong forum. It might belong in the film or home thread.) I am looking for image or film recommendations for classic film noir detective's office. Big Sleep immediately came to mind, but those kind of work spaces tend to look less distinct/memorable and...

    Actor/Film ID

    Thank you! I felt like it was that film but wasn't really sure!

    Actor/Film ID

    I need some help identifying the attached image. Does anyone recognize this actor--or, perhaps the film? A friend recalls that this is the opening scene. The face looks familiar, but I can't think of his name.

    1940's England

    Any other films come to mind about student life during this time?

    1940's England

    Thanks, all!! Any films set on universities come to mind. Browning Version was wonderful (though high-school).

    1940's England

    Thanks for the early replies. Some I've seen, and some are new to me. I'm quite interested in modern made films as well.

    1940's England

    I particularly enjoy watching films that depict England during the 40's. Being on the other side of the pond, however, limits the amount of British cinema of which I am aware. I would love if you all could share some of the more enjoyable films--modern or old--depicting 1940's England, full of...

    Vintage Paper

    Thank you for the useful quote and helpful link, 2jakes. Lizzie, thank you for these very helpful details. Do you have any source for this where I could find out more information, or is it conversational knowledge? Also, what is "linen-textured bond paper"? Was this the most common writing...

    Vintage Paper

    I have long been trying to find out, though unsuccessfully, what kind of paper was common for writers between the 20's through 40's? Were legals pads standard? I don't think so. As far as I can tell from manuscripts, paper was blank, unlined, took to fountain pens well, and ages to a light cream...

    Vintage Portfolio Folders

    Someone else said they could be found in England, and you all are referencing Germany and India, which reminds me of how unconnected to our modern global economy I really am. I won't be near these countries. Do you know if they can be found in America somewhere? At the very least, could anyone...

    Vintage Portfolio Folders

    Can anyone provide more information on what kind of folders/portfolios are in the attached photos? I've tried to find modern counterparts and have no idea what they're called. They seem to be leather folders that come with leather strings or flaps of a sort. I am looking for a similar item to...
