    how old does a coat have to be to be considered VINTAGE?

    I don't think you can really set an arbitrary number of years for something to be considered "vintage". Rather, it's determined by other factors such as quality and representative of a past time period, as defined in Dictionary.com: I've seen the term used loosely on eBay as "fluff" to try...

    Her response reminds me of something I once read: "A bore is a person who, when you ask them how they are, tells you!"

    Vintage Ice Cubes

    I only have "vintage" ice cubes. The tray is quite modern. I need to defrost that sucker.

    How to protect vintage magazines?

    Tried to search, way too many posts to try to sift through them all to find what I need, so if you know a post that will answer my question, please link to it. Anyway, I recently purchased a magazine on eBay. I thought it would be a "used" magazine, turns out it's in like-new condition...

    Self-Conscious?

    P.S. In answer to your question, yes, I had serious doubts at first. See this thread: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?t=27489

    Self-Conscious?

    I don't feel silly wearing it. Chasing it a half block because the wind blew it off, (happened today) THAT'S when I feel silly!

    H?ºckel Hats

    You must be talking about the BCF up by Aurora Village. That's the one I was referring to. I've complained about those security plugs both here and to BCF. Somebody here said to wet the hole with a drop or two of water and let it dry. Last I was in there they seemed to be stocking up on...

    Wow, these are funny, keep them coming! I work with the general public and hear it from the other direction (retarded questions), but that's not the subject of this thread so I'll spare you.

    H?ºckel Hats

    Is there on online source that has a good selection of lower-end Huckel hats? My local BCF has a piss-poor selection of hats, let alone Huckels. I've tried googling it but I only get very limited results.

    Do You Float Your Hats on your head?

    Being a newbie, I don't know what "float your hat" means. And at the risk of sounding blasphemous, I'll admit I don't always wear the one fedora I have. If by "floating" you mean tilting the hat, it varies, depending on if I'm in my car or outside of it. When I'm in my car, it's tilted...

    Arg!! Tired of over-priced stuff

    Try finding a local free-lance carpenter and describe what you need. When my Dad died a couple years ago, we were aghast at the cost of caskets. I located a carpenter via local ads who quoted a price for a descent casket for about 1/4 of the price funeral homes and casket companies were asking...

    Roaring 20s/Prohibition party attire

    The Speakeasy Bar we put together. The liquor and wine bottles contain colored water and fake labels with names of dive sites, e.g. "Keystone Kicker", "Redondo Red", "Les Davis -More Buzz", "Mukilteo Mud", et al. I'm on the right, Randy on the left. More pictures at this link: Speakeasy Party

    Roaring 20s/Prohibition party attire

    That would be "Mad Dog" Mike and his newest "child". He helped construct the sets we used. The fact that he's a remodeling contractor helped. The sets consisted of the facade for the entrance and a mock bar. Decor was begged, borrowed, donated, built ourselves. Only thing I was...

    Show Us Your Pedigree! The Heritage Thread.

    Ich bin Deutsch, or at least my ancestors were. Great Grandpa came over from Wurttemberg shortly after the American Civil War ended and married Great Grandma who was from the same area in Germany and arrived shortly after Great Grandpa. Not known if they knew each other before emigrating.
