    Th 8 Most Wildly Irrisponsible Vintage Toys

    I also used to have cap guns. I'm from the days when the caps were made of paper not plastic. The truth of the matter is that his parents probably didn't show him the right way to use the cap gun, was because they didn't know themselves. Guns, and toy guns in particular have become so...

    Th 8 Most Wildly Irrisponsible Vintage Toys

    We had this set when I was a kid. I don't remember anyone ever burning themselves, or choking on anything. Don't parents teach kids not to put things in their mouths anymore? Doug

    Th 8 Most Wildly Irrisponsible Vintage Toys

    I for one feel that the safety legislation, particularly when it comes to children's, toys isn't doing them any favors. I jokingly say that a child will never learn not to play in the traffic if he isn't ever hit by a car. As I said its a joke, but if a child is never taught the responsibility...

    Th 8 Most Wildly Irrisponsible Vintage Toys

    My brother got the mini steam engine for Christmas one year. I played with it a lot too. You put sterno in a little tray under the pressure vessel. I think something a lot of people today don't realize, is this was a time before parents expected their kids toys to babysit for them. All of the...

    Great set of stree scenes from the early fifties

    The 4th and 8th photographs are clearly 70's not 50's. Look at the cars in the background. I have my doubts about some of the others as well. Cool stuff though. Doug

    The most amazing newpaper front page I've seen...

    No I don't think it was cobbled together in photoshop. Its a reproduction, not a recreation. Its likely from a turn of the century photograph of the original paper, that was then reprinted and then scanned for the web. Doug

    The most amazing newpaper front page I've seen...

    I just found it on line. It actually not the head line from the next day, but rather a memorial edition from the one year anniversary of Lincoln's death. It maybe a reproduction, but I believe its a copy of the actual original paper from the one year anniversary. Doug

    Thank you Steven. We were trying as much as possible to give it the feel of a vintage war time short. Glad to hear that people think we got close. And thanks so much for the comments on the Veterans Day video. That one means a lot to me because several of the photos are of my own family...

    Thanks C-dot. I'm glad you are enjoying the films. The "house" location is actually my apartment. There are actually some anachronistic things that appear in the film, but I did my best to keep them out. I do wish that I had a genuine vintage fan. The butcher shop and the market are both local...
