    Thoughts on 1940s/1950s-style T-shirts (undershirts)?

    okay if you are willing to pay the price of about $120 a Tee then it appears the Eastman U. S. Navy 1930's & '40's Tee Shirt "Skivvy," Off-White is the true reproduction seen in your photos! their description says; " The sleeves are of the true shorter, quarter-sleeve length of that era, which...

    Thoughts on 1940s/1950s-style T-shirts (undershirts)?

    I'm not sure about the sleeve length on these modern day offerings I list below as they seem like most Tees but back in the day they were tube loom weave (no side seam) and very few companies do this today. there is a place in Japan and China that make them still and one place in the US. Bronson...

    this is how I deal with anything I collect. not for any future value although it is always a nice thought that if I take care of them I might be able to at least get my money back but most likely will have to take a loss... so my collecting is always about what I am interested in, what I find to...

    thanks so much for sharing these. I was not aware of this type of radio existing! I guess I should have known that being radio was such an important tool for news information and escapism that there would be a market for every income level. this is amazing to see that there were the fords...

    wow. now that's interesting to know! big money showoffs impressed people with their radio tube count! lol! kind of like how kids in the late 90s early 2000s tied to impress their friends with how many gigs of ram they had or how powerful a video card they got for their computer. overclocking the...

    lol! a curse in disguise! a double edged sword if you will. its a great hobby and you know the rarity and value of such items but furthermore you restore, retain and use them as intended! I love listening to old 1940s radio broadcasts on my 1941 Zenith... makes it seem all the more authentic and...

    WOW! WOW! WOW! Now THAT is AMaZInG!!!! I have never seen a cathedral type quite like that! well, I hope that previous owner friends knows its in the right hands. I bet he would ONLY let you have it otherwise kept it. I doubt anyone else would be able to acquire it from him. nice score!

    hadn't thought of that! makes perfect sense to have luggage type design aesthetics to ensure a strong and rugged enclosure for delicate tube radios. interesting! and now I can see the vintage travel luggage in the radio! Wow! very cool indeed!
