    Indiana Jones, Arceologist or trophy hunter?

    Look it's all relative to the era. In the 1930s the attitude was still artifacts over of knowledge of culture gained through thorough archeology. Today we have different values and it is wrong to project them into the past and damn the actions of others. Indy worked for institutions and his...

    Seeing Fakes, Angry Traders Confront EBay

    Just the word "vintage" is bogus on ebay. People write the ads for items rationalizing that since something isn't new in a retail store they can get away with using the word vintage for something a couple years old. I've seen lots of all sorts of items less than 10 years old touted as...

    A Dying Breed During a Terribly Sad Time

    Was this AL CAPONE'S own Stetson?

    For all intent it is the hat. It is so close as to be a twin. I'm not sure I'd care as long as you could say "yeah, it's a duplicate to Capone's."

    Vintage car observation.

    Here's about a 49-50 Packard ambulance and some sharp-dressed folks- early 50s at latest. And I guess this woulda been me with my 1950 Packard when it was new....nice hat!
