"In the Days of the Comet"- H.G. Wells, 1906
My interest in astronomy has been rekindled with predictions of Comet ISON's potential spectacular show this November, and I started looking for vintage sci fi books about comets. I just finished Jules Verne's "Off on a Comet".

Very nice set. Are the hands and time pips on the clock glow in the dark? It looks like it from the photos. If so, it is more than likely Radium. I don't know about Europe, but in the US clocks with radium dials manufactured after 1950 will have an "R" or "Ra" marked on the clock somewhere.
"How to Disappear Completely(And Never Be Found Again)" by Radiohead. It is a melancholy song but I wouldn't want it played for that reason. To me, it's a beautiful song and is one of the few songs that make me shiver. Plus the opening line is appropriate. "That there, that's not me".
Couldn't resist and went to see it. Hated it. Was relieved when it "ended". Musical score was overwrought. Jokes were cliche or fell flat. Added plot lines? Why? Of course it didn't help that I had to sit through 8 previews.
The only thing I heard in the link was Todd Rundgren's "Bang the Drum All Day"

Hope this helps and welcome to the Lounge!
Here she is. I sold it fairly low at $615, but I needed the cash. I did get it cheap though. Paid $360 5 years ago. I've sold most of my guns over the last couple of weeks, divorce will do that to you. Oh well, que sara, sara.
Congratulations! It's always a joy to get a gun you've been searching for. She looks good. Sadly, I sold a '60's 29-2 6 1/2" recently. You gonna update your avatar now?:cool:
