    The Era -- Day By Day

    Fading Fast Wrote: "One thing all these A&S ads together have reminded me is how departments stores once really were the go-to place for a massive selection of almost everything. Today, they offer clothing, "housewares" and a few other things (and failing even at that), but in their day, these...

    Grandfather's Editorial Cartoon Collection

    Here are a few from the period between Hitler's invasion of Russia and the US entry into the war. (i.e. June '41-Dec. '41). The first refers to the change in attitude of some of US Labor after Russia was invaded. Tomorrow's batch over in the WWII forum all use baseball imagery.

    75th Anniversary of Operation Overlord - D-DAY

    My Wife and I watched our copy of The Longest Day last night as well. Ryan's mosaic technique of layered multiple small individual stories to tell a much bigger story translated well from the book to the screen. Ham and Jam.

    Bandanas? (no politics, please)

    My wife and I have been using bandannas for masking since this started. Distinctly cheaper since we already had them. One trick I've been using since I wear glasses is to place a folded up facial tissue inside the folded over bandanna where it rides on the bridge of my nose. This helps absorb...

    My Grandfather's Collection of Wartime Cartoons

    All Right. This next couple lots are from 1939 to 1941 (pre-Barbarossa) and concern the division of Poland. Tomorrow's will be from the same time and will concern the uneasy alliance between Germany and Russia, (with Italy putting its oar in as well).

    My Grandfather's Collection of Wartime Cartoons

    Over in the Golden Age I have started a thread on the collection of editorial cartoons that my grandfather cut out of Southern California newspapers chronicling events from about 1938 to 1946. Over there I have been posting cartoons largely concerned with events leading up to the war. I’m...

    Grandfather's Editorial Cartoon Collection

    Here is the first of a double load. These were pasted in not in any particular order and so jump around between 1939 (pre-war) to 1941 (pre-US entry into war). This will be the last lot posted in the Golden Era for awhile as most of the next pages deal directly with war events. One of the...

    Well, now we're post-Munich and there is much speculation on where the Soviet Union stands in the World line-up.

    Knockoffs?

    Then you have the case of Gustav Stickley who not only had a company which built and continues to build furniture to his designs, he also published books of his plans and encouraged people to build them for themselves. What one made would not be a genuine Stickley but it would have the quality...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Yesterday was the second day of a small heat wave in Northern California. Over 100 in Sacramento and 80 in San Francisco. (where no one has air conditioning). My wife wanted to watch a movie that evoked COLD. I initially thought Battleground would serve but instead fell back on Where Eagles...

    Grandfather's Editorial Cartoon Collection
