    Vintage televisions, anyone? Post pics here!

    That's about right for a Dumont, I found the payment book for the RA-112 I got from my Grandmother. (Dec. '49) She paid $500.00 for the set, which was a good bit of change for those days.

    Harvey 1950 - Martini Glasses

    Pretty much, (Though bigger than 1oz) it wasn't until the modern era, that the inverted road cone sized cocktail glass became the norm. The bright side is, you can hunt down vintage cocktail glasses, which I find to be more enjoyable to use.

    Herbsainte Originale

    Yes, Herbsaint Original is an absinthe substitute, you would prepare it just like a classic absinthe. Herbsaint Original is closer to an absinthe, than some commercial absinthe brands. As it was back in the 1930s and 40s

    Herbsainte Originale

    Not that I'd know anything about the stuff.... Herbsaint Frappé is a favorite, and dripped via an original Herbsaint glass and dripper. Some internet crank scanned a 1944 Herbsaint booklet : http://www.oxygenee.com/Legendre-Herbsaint.pdf An Herbsaint Suissesse is very nice too * 1-1/2...

    The Miracle of Absinthe

    Depends on where you live... Some good American made absinthes like Pacifique, and Delaware Phoenix, are easier found online than in some parts of the USA. The two big absinthe forums a couple of posts up are good resources, as well as the posts in this thread for the better brands. I'd avoid...

    You still haven't had real absinthe that's just a cheap oil mix.

    I have my Grandmother's Dumont RA-112 that she bought in Dec. 1949. (Still has all of the papers, and the power cord tag) It's quite interesting with the continuous radio type tuner and green cat's eye on the dial. I lucked into a full Dumont factory TV shop binder with all their schematics...

    Gents: Do you feel comfortable with a woman who is taller than you?

    Being 6'-2" I wouldn't mind, the closest I ever got to eye level was dating a girl that was 5'-10". I used to say goodnight to a tiny old flame, by having her stand on the top step so she'd be at the same height.
