    I have nabbed a bunch of photos of the oldies, but had never noted that Olė. Thanks ;-)

    Thank you, kind sir. Like you, I enjoy collecting and using the original items (and hope to have an antique traditional heavy block spinner soon), but I'm really all about functionality and practicality. I think this particular item will make a very functional spinner, and will still have that...

    Doing great Terry! Don't sell yourself short. Your creases in particular are very crisp.

    Vintage Shot Glasses

    My best guess as to era is 20's to 30's based on the motif & coloring pattern. It's got a jazzy & Art Deco sensibility.

    Vintage Shot Glasses

    Very collectible jazz glasses, but the images remind one of blackface movies and might perhaps be seen as offensive. At any rate they are a glimpse into history. Is there a maker's mark on the bottom? "Faint hat never won fair lady"

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Today I wore two black western hats destined for sale. A 3X Stetson Open Road and a 6X Dunlap Western. Just don't wear 'em much. I'm asking $300.00 each, based on rarity as to the black OR, and rarity & super sweetness as to the Dunlap. (Very nice felt on that 4 inch brim gents!). Open...

    Brilliant, using cork as a gasket/gripper! Wish I 'd thought of that. I noted the clothespins and like that too. That really saves on trying to recreate 20+ items by hand that are exactly the same. I really like how you think outside of the box on this stuff. We should definitely chat...

    For Sale: Rare 7X Black Dunlap Supreme Western sz. 7 1/8

    This vintage 6x (oops!) Dunlap Supreme hat has a fantastic hand - better than my 100% beaver westerns - and is one of only two Dunlap branded westerns I've ever seen. It also has a crease that is very unique, and which I wish I had the skill to recreate. It was creased in two steps, which...

    This is a beauty. Not too heavy, but still traditional. Very nice.

    Vintage Shot Glasses

    i have a ton of old shot glasses that I bought before I really understood the market or realized what is really unique. For example, I have some "bulls eye" shot glasses that are 100+ years old, but that no one wants to pay more for than a brand new shot glass is worth. These heavy glass shots...

    Vintage Shot Glasses

    I used to have a shot in every glass, but it was not feasible as my collection grew. I do use them from time to time, but I am more of a mixed drink guy than a shot guy. I'd like to start a bar someday where I could display the collection, but that's not likely to happen. I'm frankly glad...

    Doesn't look substantially different from my cardboard one, but sounds like it had better results. Can you post more photos?

    Thanks Hatter4. I was wondering if it was for creating a recess for the reed to rest in after it is flared. I'm not getting the reeds to set down as nice as I would like, although they flare ok. Any tips are appreciated. I'm thinking about making a sandbag. Maybe I should have bought that...
