I can't remember the episode, but on one of the old shows you can see that one of the "walls" on the set has a huge rent in it that's been hurriedly taped up. It was rather distracting and I kept thinking "what's with that..." until the villians break through it. They must have done a previous...
I love both your items Snookie, but that linked pin set is so sweet! Really evocotive of the WWII era, I just love it. I especially like the different size rhinestones that make up the stars in the flag.
I'll try to post a picture of my 1950's carved pair tonight--maybe I'm wrong and they aren't too big for my face (I doubt it, but a girl can hope...).
After trying on a couple pair I'm seriously considering getting a pair of pince nez. The ladies version sometimes came with a detachable hair...
Glad that Art History degree of mine was good for sumthin' Quigley!

A great bargain too!
I'm a sucker for what I call the "crossed curtain" houses in late 1930's films--the homey, "country" houses that usually have crossed, sheer white curtains with ruffles somewhere in the place.
