    What the heck does Jughead wear?

    It's a child's sized cap handed down from a family member, I wore it when I was about five years old, along with the propeller beanie one. Being obsessed with all things that remotely resembled helicopters. About the same time I got a Mattel Beany 'Copter hat from the old Beany & Cecil Show, it...

    What the heck does Jughead wear?

    An original Whoopee cap from the the 1940s: Some of the buttons found with the cap, I also have a 1940s propeller beanie that needs some propeller repair work. Some info on Benay-Albee Co: http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,933842,00.html

    I agree a hook type pin would be better.

    Help! My cigarette holder needs fixin'.

    Small brass tubing like K & S makes would only cost a couple of dollars at a well stocked hobby shop. That being said,.....I'd agree that I wouldn't want to draw heated smoke though a recent glued repair. I'd still fix it and save it as a display piece. Makes you wonder what you were...

    Help! My cigarette holder needs fixin'.

    If it were mine, and I was really determined to use it again, I'd use a length of small brass tubing to bridge the break, through the inside diameter of the hole through the holder, with enough tubing to go well beyond both sides of the glue joint.

    Interest check: Antique radio MP3 players/iPod docks

    The red one could be saved with the careful use of body filler like Bondo™, along with some final edge feathering with spot putty. Filling, sanding, and edge feathering, just takes some practice.

    Help! My cigarette holder needs fixin'.

    Testors isn't going to work either....wrong type of plastic. I wouldn't use it again, you are not going to be able to glue it with anything that won't off gas as it get's heated. Epoxy included I'd repair it and leave it on the shelf, get another one and don't drop it.

    The Miracle of Absinthe

    The top three selections on the list they posted in the dining section is laughable. About the only thing I'd agree with is, Le Tourment Vert is undrinkable swill. As are Grande Absente & Pernod's absinthe which made the top of the list

    The Stratoliner Society {VINTAGE}

    The intriguing thing about this Strat pin, is the wing shape is much closer to the stylized Stetson drawing, rather than the TWA crew pin. Put me down for two pins.

    French Vermouth

    Some old cocktail recipes will list Vermouth by a defunct brand name, which can be problematic if you don't know if it's a dry or sweet Vermouth. Browsing Cocktail DB defunct brand names and ingredients can help.

    French Vermouth

    French Vermouth is your standard dry Vermouth, Italian Vermouth is sweet Vermouth. That was often the way old cocktail books referred to Vermouth.

    Back in the 80s I worked in a Mannequin shop, the stories I could tell about some customers. :eek:

    You might look in your area for an electronic parts supply house for the lamps, you'd probably get better service than rat shack.

    Life as it was lived then

    Wouldn't that be what they called White Gas back in the day? White gas was a term for Gasoline with no lead or additives, not the other term used for naphtha.
