    How to determine someone's voter affilitation?

    You could argue Reagan was the last President who had nothing against the New Deal and didn't seek to dismantle it. He even wrote angrily in his diary about critics accusing him of wanting to do away with the New Deal. He bristled at the accusation--he saw little wrong with the New Deal except...

    How to determine someone's voter affilitation?

    My grandpa has been deceased since the '70s. We however have his NYC voter registration card from 1963 and presumably he voted. On the card, it does NOT list his party affiliation. Would there be any way to find out what he was registered as, and even perhaps who he voted for, or what elections...

    Dating this Duffle Bag?

    May I ask what makes you think it's from the late 60s/70s? I always figured it for being 40s/50s because of the name and address plate and the yellowish discoloration of the glass there. Also, do you think it is Suede then?

    Dating this Duffle Bag?

    This duffle bag was my grandfather's. He was born in 1920 and died in 1975 and the bag has most of his personal effects from his life in it. My mother thinks it's WWII era but I can't be sure. I think it's leather, but I'm not sure. On the front side (with the broken handle), there's a little...

    Pencil Mustache

    Seems Clark Gable abandoned the pencil thin in favor of a thicker mustache, circa 1956: But by 1960 had returned to a pencil thin:

    Question: Gable's and Bogart's popularity?

    A question: Around what years did the popularity of Clark Gable and Humphrey Bogart as money-making leading men approximate? I've heard that Gable was MGM's highest grossing star consistently between 1939 and 1953 but I'm not sure if that's accurate. Also, both seem to be icons of the 1940s--Was...

    Pencil Mustache

    Castro isn't half bad looking with a pencil thin mustache; It suits him a lot more than the beard. And he looked a lot more professional with it.

    Question: Golden Era leading men and women?

    I have Manhattan Melodrama and I liked it a lot. Gable (possibly my favorite actor ever) and Powell were great in it. I'm basically into anything except musicals. I like Comedies, Action films, Adventure films (detective stories/mysteries/spy stories etc), Romance films, B-Movies and...

    Question: Golden Era leading men and women?

    I'd like to get a real feel for the Golden Era in cinema. Who were Hollywood's leading men and women between around 1932-1950? And what are some good movies--both greater known and lesser--you'd recommend? I just really want to get a feel for the era in cinema.

    Rings

    Pinky Rings I know pinky rings tend to be associated with Mafia figures today, but it seems like at least in the 30s, perhaps even up to the 70s, they weren't just associated with gangsters. For example, FDR famously wore a pinkie ring, it was one of his trademarks along with his battered...

    Pencil Mustache

    A question: Can anyone trace when the pencil mustache trend first began in America? Like, who were some of the first stars to wear them (pre Gable), and in what films? And for those who can remember, were they still in popularity into the early (pre-Hippie) 60s?

    What kind/style of glasses are these?

    I think my grandpa has a pair of glasses in his shirt pocket; It's hard to tell because of the low resolution of the photo but that's what it looks like to me. If so, could anyone try to help me deduce the type/style they were? He wore reading glasses. The year the photo was taken was 1972...

    The Wet Head look: A question

    When did the trend of having long hair on top (with it short on the sides and back), slicked down and back with hair oil giving it a "wet appearance" die off? Examples of people who had the Wet Head look would be stars like Clark Gable, and Presidents Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon It's...
