    Fountain Pen Ink and Vintage Pen

    Thanks for all the info! As far as ink is concerned, I would like the ink to look as it did when originally produced in the 40's. I would also like it to be heavily water-resistant/water-proof. As for the vintage pen. My Phileas is nice, but I would like to find something either as smooth or...

    Fountain Pen Ink and Vintage Pen

    I've seen some threads on the FL about fountain pens, and I have two questions for fellow enthusiasts: what are some modern inks (blue, black or blue-black) that have a vintage look to them? and what are some vintage fountain pens that write really smooth that can be found for an affordable...

    Custom Hide briefcases

    Thanks. A few people have expressed some dissatisfaction with their orders, and I've seen pictures of Custom Hide's 1945 bag that looks completely different from what's on their website. I can't find anything used, and I want a specific style.

    Custom Hide briefcases

    Well, I thought there were more than two or three owners, etc. I'll poke through the search function some more.

    Custom Hide briefcases

    Custom Hide Owners I've been looking at a Custom Hide bag for some time now, but I can't get past that steep price tag, so i have some questions for those with Custom Hide experience. First, if you have a bag from them, are you happy with it? Is the craftsmanship worth the price? Secondly, if I...

    Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds

    Bad Brad Pitt WWII Film This looks like a bad film to me. Pitt is almost as bad as Cruise--but Valkerye was good. This film looks like a joke! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcoPxyxpE9A&feature=bz302

    The Money Clip

    I like money clips, but one needs to be careful about the design on the front. Something too ostentatious can seem juvenile. I'm not a big fan of seals, dollar signs, emblems, carvings, and other weird symbols. A nice pattern, one's initials, perhaps a sentimental piece are preferable.

    Divorce // A gift from my father

    Thanks. I've always liked money clips. They, like almost no other piece of jewelry, are exclusively masculine--and also more unique than wallets. My clip has the same type of mechanism. It works well and has lasted me some time now. Thanks again for the shots. I like the natural wear the clip...

    Vintage Staionery

    There have been some threads on vintage office supplies, pens, etc. But I'm wondering if anyone has photos of vintage stationery. When the ballpoint pen came on the market in the early 40's it sold out of Macy's in one hour. Surely everyone wasn't using fountain pens and Crane stationery. Does...

    Divorce // A gift from my father

    Great. Good choice on the ring. Do you have a photo of the front of the money clip?

    Divorce // A gift from my father

    A gorgeous ring with sentimental value, I'd wear it daily. By the way, what kind of money clip is that?

    Vintage Student

    We talk about golden era communication: letters, fountain pens, briefcases, etc. What about the golden era student? What does a university student in the 40's look like? What schools supplies would he be using? Notebooks, bags, etc? Any material on vintage student life? Thanks!

    Does this look vintage?

    Thanks All. That helps. I saw the lamp--it is inexpensive, but a modern mass produced object--not really what I'm after. I'm still hunting for an affordable vintage table lamp. Any suggestions? Thanks!
