No obit in that area for him !
Nope, not yet!
Went to hospital July 8th, had 2 stents installed which was hoped would do the trick. On post-op exam it was discovered I had other heart issues and they wanted to do further surgery. I decided not to go that route and come home, and get my affairs in order.

VERY expensive to restore, you can also buy them new called a "Retro" appliance line or some such but again, VERY expensive either way you go.

Well, it could be 1920s easily, I do not think that's significant though. To have any value it would need to be restored and that is where the rub comes in as restoration costs often exceed the value of the object.

Not a clue but, guesses 1930s because of the color combo.

Antique Questions Forum / HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!

“In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved,
And now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch, be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.”

"Antique Time" would be a good name for a forum, you need to get off your stump and make that happen!

Yes, housing prices are nutty & not sustainable in my view. In my neighborhood, there has not been a single house for sale this entire spring which is very weird. How weird is it? in addition to daily phone calls, daily emails, USPS offers I now have real estate people KNOCKING on my door! on the weekends asking if I'd consider selling.
The bad news in all this is, if you sell at these inflated prices & make a nice profit you gotta live SOMEWHERE! and the prospect of buying at these nutty prices is not comforting.

It's a whole raft of stuff that is not what it once was. Hollie Davis posted an article in MAD this month about this phenomenon, it's much deeper than antique collecting she argues, golf, fishing, knitting, camping, boating, etc, etc, etc are all down in participation, and Americans' hobbies/leisure time are changing fundamentally in different ways.
I think she's right, the old hobbies are just not what people are spending their time on these days, all across the board.

A response to a 14 year-old post. Seems like this place has just given up on eliminating spammers.
LOL, Yeah sometimes it takes A WHILE! no doubt about that! But it gets done eventually.
They are not on internet time here that's for sure, more like 1800- 1900 or Antique Time!

There COULD be an EXCEPTION to the NO COMEBACK RULE on Twitter, it ain't happened yet but there is more than a good chance that Twitter is on the come back trail IF Elon Musk can pull it off.
Twitter is and has been going down the loser site program, losing members, losing money, losing investors, losing losing losing!
If there is one guy on the planet that can save this site it's probably Elon Musk, GOOD LUCK & GOD-SPEED!
