    end of the month food

    Slightly Sinister Children of the Golden Era

    Thanks! Hey: I just write what I see....maybe I should have my vision checked? "Skeet"

    end of the month food

    SPAM separates the sheep from the goats.... When I ran a few 1930s Skeet shoots, I tried for the total immersion effect: 1930s radio playing in the club house, and documented foods for the luncheon. It was immediately apparent who among the shooters had actually LIVED through the...

    Filson "orginal hunting vest"

    Dear Alexi, I do....and will be getting myself back inside it very soon for our Massachusetts upland bird season, as you perhaps are thinking, yourself. I've had mine for about a decade: it's impossible to talk about fit, because as another Lounger has commented, these are intended to be...

    What Are You Reading

    Couldn't agree more: although I never read the sequels in my youth; I bought a boxed set for my wife, who didn't know any of them....and came to exactly your conclusion. A sequel to a more-or-less perfect ANYTHING is very, very hard to pull off....so we'll just have to be grateful for the...

    To Beard or Not to Beard?

    Against the Current....it seems For me....not enough "there" there.... There's no doubt...the 1920s-1950s were a very un-bearded period; but some did wear them. Think "professorial" and get out the tweeds! I agree with what others have said: you have a grand chinline and a good facial shape...

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

    Illinois Wristwatch, just arrived Bought this at the Brimfield Antiques Fair a few weeks ago, running, but sent it back with the seller for a thorough cleaning. He married it up to an NOS (1940s?) band which I think looks lovely. Bird season starts here in two weeks, and either this or my...

    Slightly Sinister Children of the Golden Era

    :eusa_clap Hmmmm.....probably responsible for a lot of work previously considered "anonymous." "Skeet"

    Slightly Sinister Children of the Golden Era

    Let's not even ask what's on his hat: perhaps he borrowed daddy's fishing hat? The [lack of] perspective in the face-part is quite amazing: from the way the hair drops off the lack-of-forehead, it appears quite....flat. Sort of like a rubber-faced doll pushed against a windowpane. Easy to do...

    Slightly Sinister Children of the Golden Era

    It's sort of the definition of high-test Trayf, nu? But even I, of a particularly pork-loving strain of goyim on both sides.....wouldn't touch that on a bet. "Skeet"

    Tan leather gloves

    Dear Sproily, No, they have a short piece of elastic set in (very nicely) on the palm side of the glove at the opening. Works well. "Skeet"

    Tan leather gloves

    These are great gloves...although not DRESS gloves, traditionally speaking.... I'll second that. I've shot and hunted in these for years now, and they are just as supple as M'H has said...they are also available in actual SIZES, not just SML fits....some....so you can get a really proper...

    What Are You Reading

    Viola, I must have read the book the first year it was out...I was "the strange little precocious kid" in my small town (they gave me an adult's library card when I was about 7)...and the librarian handed me WRINKLE the moment it came in. I was completely taken with it and read it repeatedly for...

    What Are You Reading

    And, led on by the two brave ladies....I'll throw my small box o' books out: these are either books that I have read and reread (sometimes many times, a rarity for me) or books that I read just once, but had a long-lasting effect on my thinking (sometimes both!). Hard to stop at 30...but that's...

    Decline of the Blue Box

    Well, Craig...it's the same on the Massachusetts/New-Hampshire border in RFD land. Just used the flag today. Greetings! I [mis]spent 4 years in the triple cities, a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Haven't been back since...ah! Fitzies! ah The Paddock Room! ah! the Cask! "Skeet"

    VINTAGE CAPS PHOTO GALLERY

    Lefty...is there any chance for a blowup (or transcription) of the text for the ad showing the very Continental gunner? Can't make it out at all.... Thanks for the images, one way or the other! "Skeet"

    Barbeque

    We share the same tastes: I, too, went to NC, but for a different reason: as a member of the 5th New-Hampshire Vols., a reenactment company. We were on our way to....well, all I'll say is "we beat the locals, too." But...that's the one time I was in the state; it was a good 20 years ago; I can...

    Matching tie & pocket square

    Wish I could say I found the exact match...but I didn't. Here's a good selection, though: http://new.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/forum/case/108754/ Hey, if you decide to reproduce....let me know, eh? "Skeet"
