    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    "Rolling coal"??!! - Around here (mid-South), I have never seen or even heard of such a thing. Must be a Northeastern thing... The fact that New Jersey has to have a specific law against it is a sign that it's more prevalent up there. (However, from a Southern perspective, Northeastern...

    Vintage Cars

    You need to check "LMC Truck". They have EVERY part you could want/need for Chevy pickups. I have bought all sorts of parts for my '66 C-10 over the years.

    Bad Movie Descriptions of the Golden Era

    I may have seen this one on FL before, but it's worth repeating: "TV Guide" - "The Wizard of Oz" - "Unhappy teen-age girl leaves home and travels to a strange country, where she kills the first person she encounters. Teams up with three odd drifters - one heartless, one brainless, and one...

    Forward Time Travel

    There is/was a "Dilbert" comic strip on the subject of time-travel and future-position. In the first frame Dilbert and the other engineers are putting the test-subject/guinea-pig (person) into the time machine. In the second frame (as they are pushing the start button), Dilbert asks if anyone...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Two sides of James Cromwell - both very good: 1) Kind and gentle farmer in "Babe" 2) Evil crooked cop in "L.A. Confidential"

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    As for Butch, it was pretty close to that, except for being a lighter shade of green... Then he was put back to normal by B.D. Wong (with the rose-colored glasses) and then killed (maybe??). I think Barbara gave everybody the creeps, even back in the first few episodes when she was "normal"...

    Old gas stations

    In its US models it came in both small Buicks and Oldsmobiles, and there were more differences in the cylinder heads, valves, and combustion chambers than the article implies. Buick heads kept their traditional "vertical-valve" or "nail-head" layout, as they were referred to by US hot-rodders...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I agree that "Gotham" has gotten completely out of hand. I liked it a lot for the first two seasons, and maybe a bit more, but the addition of the weird-cult-people and the Obi-Wan-Kanobi guy in the hooded robe are totally beyond me. There are/were numerous other inexplicable events and...

    Old gas stations

    To be a bit more specific, it's a 1957 Stude Golden Hawk. It was "in the ballpark" compared to other sports/performance vehicles of the time since it had 289 c.i., T-Bird had 292, and Corvette had 283. It's real difference/claim-to-fame was that it had a belt-driven centrifugal McCullough...

    Vintage neon signs

    That's the sign for the Elliston Place Soda Shop - Nashville, TN. About a mile from my office... A local landmark - famous for cheeseburgers, sodas, and desserts. For me, it fits the old Yogi saying, "No one goes there anymore, it's too crowded."

    Show us your Guns!

    Old Colt's are easier to place time-wise since the records are more complete and more easily available. To get an exact date on a particular S&W you have to send for (and pay for) a factory letter. To get around that, S&W fans/collectors trade info for known examples and can get a reasonably...

    A gun with a story attached... Even better... Can you give us the "Dragnet" version?: "The story you are about to see is true, only the names have been changed to protect the innocent..."

    Show us your Guns!

    Found my notes: Yours was made ~1925-26. Perfect timing - could have been used by Elliot Ness to shoot Al Capone... (Except Ness didn't shoot Capone - but if you're going to make up a story, make up a good one... I have been watching "The Untouchables" on TV recently...)

    Show us your Guns!

    Patent dates aren't very useful for getting a specific date of manufacture. Does it have "Made in USA" on the lower right side of the frame? My S&W data is at home so it will be Monday before I can give a more specific date. I like to know when my old S&W's and Colts were made. I tend to...

    Show us your Guns!

    That one is way older than S&W's with model numbers. They didn't assign model numbers until 1957. Yours would be called a Military and Police Model of 1905. The "9975" is just an assembly number and means nothing to the user. Are the hammer and trigger nickel plated? - it's hard to be sure...
