    Show us your TIES

    I recently picked a couple of ties that I like - I'm gravitating to a deco 60's style (I can never tell exactly). I have several of the Palatina because I like the bold patterns: My favorite is the Gail Makenzie - Hand Marbled. I believe she recently retired on the West Coast. I'll be...

    Cast iron

    If anyone is driving US I-24 North of Chattanooga, Tennessee, the Lodge factory has a really nice factory outlet store in South Pittsburg, TN. Good hours and decent prices. We make the trip once or twice a year. 220 East 3rd Street, South Pittsburg, TN 37380

    This nut didn't fall far from the tree.... my grand daughter shopping the kid's aisle with her mom at 6 months.

    Vintage Interiors

    The top picture of the workshop with the figure in the back is outstanding. I really like it! Is there a description?

    Loungers' Pets

    No, I have not lost my mind... I've been drafted by my daughter to snake-sit for a week. This is her 5' carpet python. She's raised it from about 8". At least I don't need to feed it thawed rats. Its just shed, so there's a little scale left on its head.

    1930's cocktail cabinet

    Over the last few years I've looked at several cabinets similar to yours, but without the wings. I bought one in Huntsville, AL for my son-in-law from an antique store, so I payed a little more. Does yours have an interior light in the top compartment? Mine had a small, orange fluorescent...

    Fringe on an adult leather jacket

    I remember seeing pictures of Wild Bill Hickok in fringe... Here's Guy Madison as Wild Bill: Takeaway... Hollywood thought they were pretty authentic. I like the comments about pulling the water off the fabric. I can wrap my head around that

    Forward Time Travel

    This thread is starting to dance around my world... organ and tissue preservation for transplant. The ethics and politics aside, cryopreservation is not such a stretch. Soft tissues have been banked, held at -80 F, then thawed and have remained viable since the 70's. Much of the basic research...

    Fireplaces and Stoves

    Actually, yes. You're right that its less cutting. I think that's what most the shops that do small custom work use,

    I never heard reference to the 210, but the images are consistent. Either way, it's long gone. Thanks for the clarification!

    Fireplaces and Stoves

    Well, here's this weekend's Nashville flea market find: Tennessee Stove Works, Chattanooga No. 413... 33" H X 13" W. I like it because it's small. The metals in good shape and it still has the mica ports. Seller said it was from a caboose - could be, but I'm having a hard time finding vintage...

    I spent some time scanning old pictures and found some shots of my first car. However, it would be quite a few years till it was really mine. I was holding the camera with my father, mother and younger sister in front of our 1954 Chevy Belair. In-line 6 cyl. 235 cu. in. automatic, white-wall...

    There's always a story... I picked this 1971 FIAT 124 Spider up off the front lawn of a surgeon I worked with in Kenilworth, IL (just north of Chicago - lake front property). He had a party on the weekend and his kid just returned it after running away. It didn't start and was pushed under the...

    Show us your Guns!

    My dad passed this P-38 on to me when the Chicago inner-city neighborhood he lived in became somewhat sketchy. It was "liberated" in 1945. It's in almost perfect shape, except for some slight pitting at the front of the slide in the first picture. Our gunsmith suggests its never been used other...

    George Harrison and John Lennon ended their meditation lessons with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi two weeks early - 4/19/1968.

    Ghost signs

    Building's gone to make room for a streetcar barn in Over-the-Rhine, Cincinnati, OH. Significance is the beat-up, wall-mount, GE bipolar fan in the picture below. I picked it for $5 from a non-profit salvage group. I did some research and its DC current, pre-1910. I did some additional...

    Fireplaces and Stoves

    I picked up this reconditioned stove for my basement in Wisconsin. I had a poured concrete foundation wall behind it, and put up metal studs and cement backerboard behind and below. I found the metal sheets from a site in St. Louis(?) that has the original dies. It's vented straight through and...

    The last shot was on Macau - the fisherman and net. It's one of my favorites. I'll check out Kai Wong. Thanks!
