Vintage Desk Help
There seems to be no doubt about their longevity, but how 1940's do they appear? They seem to be the only desk in larger dimensions--outside a partners' desk--that were made in the Golden Era.- poetman

Vintage Desk Help
So after reading up a bit, it seems the second desk is a "classic" teacher's style desk. How 30's/40's appropriate would this be? Also, does anyone know how I could determine the age of the desk? Any tell tale signs? I'm going to view it in person today. Thanks all!- poetman

Vintage Desk Help
Thanks everyone for sharing your thoughts! I'm a graduate student and writer, so I like large desks where I can sprawl a bunch of books and papers on at the same time. I've seen some more Deco pieces with more curved sides, but they're usually around 48" in length, and I need 60". Drawer space...- poetman

What makes you think the first desk is from the 70's? What types of larger desks then have a more vintage look?- poetman

Lizzie, thanks for the reply. Your thoughts about the different economic suggestions of each desk confirm what I thought as well. I think I'm just curious what desk looks more vintage.- poetman

Vintage Desk Help
I'm still on the hunt for a replacement of my cheap particle board desk and would appreciate some loungers thoughts on which of the following seem more vintage. I like the first because of the leather trim but with the wood was darker and more aged--although it seems to be a nice antique with...- poetman

1940's Baseball
Thanks dhermann1 for the song. I appreciate people who find answers in art. Lizzie, I appreciate the recommendations, but I'd like to know why don't you like Burns and why you feel gambling is exclusive to football and basketball but not baseball? In part, the former sports were not as developed...- poetman

1940's Baseball
I'm looking for moderate length discussions--film or texts--that explore the relationship between baseball and the golden era. Baseball was huge in the 30's and 40's, and it extended until the 60's sometime. In contemporary culture, it's third to football and basketball. I'd love to know more...- poetman

Desk Style?
Hi all, Could some of you experts chime in on which desk has a more golden era feel to it. I'm indecisive--the writing table style is a bit more expensive, but both are under $50. Thanks!! 5Ld5K25Ha3n23N33H2c4ac33e80c04450102c by Poetman1, on Flickr...- poetman

Basic Radio Question
Thanks for all the feedback. It's seems that the cords were just hidden in the photos I saw. Are there websites you recommend to check out some basic facts? Should I look for something 30's era or 40's era? I'm sure I'll find aesthetic pleasures in both decades, but I definitely want this piece... -
Basic Radio Question
Thanks for this really helpful post. So, this suggests that vintage battery operated radios would no longer work? If one wants the radio to function now, it seems the only option is a cord? Correct? -

Basic Radio Question
Forgive the tremendous ignorance in advance, but I've been growing interested in vintage radios lately and am wondering: did they all plug into outlets or were some battery operated. I frequently see pictures of smaller desk bookcase ones that don't appear to have cords. Can someone fill me in... -

Panama Hat Thread
I have a question. I have the chance to buy a genuine "made in Ecuador" panama hat that is not a Montecristo, but is a natural straw color and really sharp looking hat for a great price, but still a bit of dough. Or, I can buy a panama not made in Ecuador and not an authentic Montecristo, but... -

Panama hat "color"
