Hello...
Hello all...
Thought I'd pop in and introduce myself. My real name is Mike. I found this little slice of vintage heaven doing a few searches on the Maltese Falcon. And I am really glad I did! Been lurking for a few days and doing searches like a mad man. I guess the best may to give you an idea about me is by my searches here on "FL". Adventure clothes, Fedoras, vintage ties, barbershops, vintage guns, holsters, suspenders, to name a few. I just can't believe the amount of information in one place. It's a bit overwhelming, but from what I have read everyone seems generally helpful and nice.
My ten year old son has my grandfather's bedroom furniture. I found a date on the back marked 1913. I also have 3 vintage Barber chairs. A Porcelain Koken, and two Belmonts. I still remember playing on them as a kid in my Dad's Barber shop. These are late 50's early 60's. I also have some vintage Barber tools. I will try and take pictures of some of this stuff and post them for you to peep at.
I also have a WWII wool trench coat I found in a dump when I was 15. It was nasty! I cut the buttons off and took it to the dry cleaners, the guy made no promises it wouldn't fall apart and reminded me I would still have to pay for the cleaning! But it came out great! Beautiful in fact. Just wish I hadn't lost the outside buttons! (Remember I was 15!) I still wear it around outside, but I would like to find the correct buttons to put back on. (It weighs a ton! )
Anyway... look forward to learning more from you guys (Gals implied but not stated.).
