    Pawn stars - john wayne hat

    Sam, we have to take into account that these shows are fictionalized. It could well be that the whole scene was invented and 'scripted out' in advance, and that the 'collector' was a friend or relative of the pawn shop guys. Believe me, it happens. Makes for good TV.

    . I'd like to see "Fantasia" and "2001: A Space Odyssey" in 3-D. Guess I'll just have to drop some acid.

    Information requested about old Florsheim shoes...60's, 70's, 80's,...40's?????

    Actually, the very end of the '70s saw a revival (among high-end brands and designers, such as Ralph Lauren, YSL, etc.) of all-natural fabrics, pleated trousers, knit polo shirts, narrower neckties and smaller shirt collars. It was hailed in the fashion press as "a return to Depression-era...

    Cool (But Sold) eBay Stuff

    Nope. It was made by a specific manufacturer of American workwear that is highly sought-after by Japanese collectors nowadays. IMO, that's why it sold for such a high price.

    Ok, so some things in the golden era were not too cool...

    I agree with you, Lizzie. We have different birth years and live on opposite sides of the U.S.A., but we've both seen it happen. It was especially shocking for me upon returning home after living abroad for seven years (1998-2005): the America I came back to seemed radically different from...

    Super Harris Tweed Herringbone Smoky Blue Sportcoat 44?

    There are a LOT of old tweed coats on eBay and Etsy. More supply than demand. The value lies in certain details: some subtle (cut, age, number of buttons, manufacturer, etc.) and some less so (shade of tweed, pattern, size, etc.)

    This or That

    Bonus: Robert Woolsey's widow, an ex-Broadway showgirl, made millions from betting on the stock market -- mostly from her bedroom telephone. (My friend sold this woman's estate. Ended up with Robert Woolsey's home bar.)

    Show us your TIES

    . Yes. Along with tie sales, the sales of suits skyrocketed in the late 1940s and only began to level off in the early '50s. All those ex G.I.s going to work, church, etc.

    Titanic to Be Re-Released in 3D for 100th Anniversary

    Agreed ... but ship disaster movies are always an iffy bet. (Remember "The Poseidon Adventure"? Please don't.) It's sink-or-swim.
