    Oregon Caves...

    Mom and I saw Oregon Caves back in the early 1970s, but didn't stay at the chataeu. My chief memory besides the beauty of the caves was the squirrell that would come up and take peanuts out of my shirt pocket.

    Occupations

    When I lived on the Big Island, I found a book on Hawaiian railroads and started hunting. The Hawaii Consolidated Railway was put out of business by the tsunami of 1946, but you can still see old rail bridges reconfigured as highway bridges, and the old roundhouse in Hilo still stands. The HCR...

    Got my Top Hat...

    I love 'em both, but I'm partial to the taller one (the Adam) too. I guess if you're going to be over the top(per) you may as well go all the way. :)

    Radio

    Wouldn't a portable version be just the berries for a cruise night or an auto show? Let those tube radios sing!

    Would you rather live then or now?

    The Chevy Suburban was introduced in 1936, if memory serves. It was a work truck back then, of course. You didn't see 'em parked in front of the department store in the big city.

    Got my Top Hat...

    I need a better screen cap of The Maltese Falcon, specifically Sydney Greenstreet's outfit in his first scenes.

    Another Whippet

    I only see the one pic... maybe you have to mark the rest of 'em as "shared"?

    Another Whippet

    I wonder if anybody knows exactly when Stetson started using clear plastic in the liner? I have a few Stetsons that seem to be pretty close in age, and some have the plastic and some don't.

    Got my Top Hat...

    Top Hat #2 I can't have just one, especially when another one in wonderful shape shows up on that auction site in exactly my size. A bargain, too! This one's an Adam, and it's almost perfect except that the sweatband needs re-stitching. (the seller disclosed that, no worries) Here...

    I'll team up with a skinny guy and we'll deliver pianos. lol

    Pardon me, my mistake(s). Wrong hat size?

    Mine feels like concrete sometimes. lol I've noticed that my tight hats fit looser in the evening. One of the medical folks here on the Lounge should do a study on scalp physiology as it relates to hat wearing.

    Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.

    My 1935 Waltham and my Rolex (Thanks, Zach R!), click for big pictures: I still haven't gotten around to having the minute hand on the Waltham reattached.

    Stunted lapels

    If you're in the Los Angeles area, catch Perry Mason on KDOC Channel 56 weekdays at Noon and 7PM. Raymond Burr seems to be able to carry off those skinny lapels, even some skinny peak lapels, and he's no stringbean. I'd love to find some of the suits from that show.

    EXchange names for phone numbers

    Ours would have been WHitecliff 8-3555 back in the 60s, but they had already begun to move away from the "named" exchanges and I learned our home number as just numerals.

    EXchange names for phone numbers

    Well, for New York it should be KRamden. lol
