    Nice pewter jug, estaban. Love hammered pewter. Looks like it has Arts and Crafts elements combined with an overall Victorian design and handle!

    Show us your Militaria

    This is lengthy, but what the heck. I’ve collected militaria since my uncle gave me his Second World War Canadian army helmet when I was 8 years old. That’s a long, long time ago (over 50 years). I’ve collected many things but eventually settled on British and Canadian medals and militaria...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I finally had some luck today at a church rummage sale in a much more 'swanky' part of town than I normally inhabit. Cravats can be hard to find on this side of the pond! $4 each.

    British air museums

    The RAF museum in London was excellent. The Fleet Air Arm Museum is also worth a visit if you're wandering toward Yeovilton.

    First of the church Spring rummage sales yesterday...a great time and a great sale. Picked up a number of things, including a 1918 edition of Fanny Farmer's Boston School cookbook, but the most interesting was this small leather bound booklet put out by Gordon's Distillery. It features...

    Anybody Else Collect Sewing Machines?

    Since retiring almost 3 years ago I've been going through 2 or 3 thrift stores pretty well every day. Like Tonyb, it's almost a way of life. Tonyb is right. Prices in the last year have been escalating. Sewing machines were really quite common in thrift stores and were usually priced in the...

    Just finished Dan Simmons' The Terror. It's a fictionalized account of the Franklin Expedition with a healthy dose of Inuit mythology thrown in. Best thing I've read in quite some time.
