  1. I got distracted by Shel Silverstein the other day. };-) Here's a Hathitrust copy of 1961's "For Yound Adults Only" for anybody who wants to peruse this time capsule: https://babel.hathitrust.or...
  2. AWISEOWL: "AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE TABLE OF CONTENTS IN THE 3RD. PIC, THIS BOOK IS LIKE A PRE DR. SPOCK PARENTING GUIDE. THREE YEARS LATER, IN 1964, THE BEATLES INVADED AMERICA AND THIS BOOK PROBA...
  3. Hola, Maolve25. :-) Por favor, disculpe cualquier error, ya que estoy usando DeepL para traducir del inglés. Puedes probar la guía en este sitio web: https://colescuckoos.com/blogs/news/datin...
  4. Steptoe, Google Lens found a 'twin': https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/menton-manor-otter-heredities-friends-542635888 It sounds like this figurine, like the one of the rabbit with babies ...
  5. Steptoe1, Not sure exactly what jscott0363 meant about using lemon juice; however, I don't think it would be a good idea in this case, because I suspect that what you have in this case is cold cast b...
  6. As to the photo-bombing feline: cats just gotta be where the action is. It's cute in a picture, but sometimes when you're either doing something complicated, or it isn't going well, it's...not so c...
  7. fortapache, I agree that the suitcase that converts to a table is way cool. Are the dishes and other accessories melamine, or what?
  8. Hi, Jafar. :-) It looks like perhaps you used a lot of non-Roman alphabet characters in your post, the Collectors Weekly Show & Tell couldn't interpret them, and substituted question marks. The ...
  9. inky, What a beautiful Beyermann piece.
  10. PhilDMorris: "All the extra posts this peson made up should be deleted. I hope you can figure how to do that !~" Right now, it doesn't seem like a hugely difficult task. Ka-ching hasn't posted a...
  11. Ka-ching, You have five identical posts: https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/325244-acid-etch-mark-on-base-of-decanter-d https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/325243-acid-etch-mark-on-ba...
  12. BHIFOS: "when CW tells you it failed to finish uploading your post open another screen and check your profile page and you'll see it probably has. Another glitch since the change in who runs it." ...
  13. PhilDMorris: "yes he did take the hard drive only and I thought it better to give up the old comp." Yup, a 2007 PC probably couldn't even be updated to the latest version of whatever OS you were...
  14. PhilDMorris, I'm not sure I understood all of the comments about your computer problems, especially the one about erasing sites. Was your IT repair person trying to revive the whole 2007 Dell PC, o...
  15. This source says that the original photograph for the image in this post was taken by John Florea in 1953: https://perfectlymarilynmonroe.com/post/626919679106138112/marilyn-monroe-photographed-by-...
  16. HaifaHiFi, That image also appeared in the July 1955 issue of Photoplay: https://m.famousfix.com/post/marilyn-monroe-photoplay-magazine-united-kingdom-july-1955-14714713?nx=35772271 I'm not sure...
  17. Heather.n.Earth, I'm going to link your duplicate post here, as somebody gave some useful information on that one as well: https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/325186-discovered-teddy-bear-coll...
  18. mjazz, Interesting. "My mother said it might be a hat box" I suppose it could be, but is the container deep enough to store a hat? If it isn't, it still could have been designed as storage fo...
  19. PhilDMorris, No thanks needed. :-) Grantcody posted just enough information in the title to pique my curiousity. I didn't know what was special about WWI corkscrew fence posts, so I had to investig...
  20. fortapache, You're welcome. Poor JFK had to find out that there's a significant difference between "Ich bin Berliner," and "Ich bin ein Berliner." The citizens of Berlin did think it was funny, ...
  21. PhilDMorris, Whew indeed. It sounds like things are basically under control now.
  22. TallCakes, Thanks, I was having difficulty understanding how the contraption worked.
  23. Y'all. };-) Yeah, I thought it was a jelly doughnut, too. Or maybe it's that "Ich bin ein Berliner." A little mood music: He Ate Too Many Jelly Donuts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4...
  24. davezelhart, Interesting. I got a hit on Avon Dr. Zabriskie's Cutaneous soap at Pinterest: *snip* Avon 'Dr. Zabriskie's Soap' and Dr. Zabriskie's Cutaneous Soap' Germany various design boxes ...
  25. PhilDMorris: "I lost most of my photos now, as my old computer broke down" That's terrible. Is the disk completely unsalvageable?
  26. I think the family should be given the benefit of the doubt, and an attempt made to contact them. If the family can't be reached or doesn't care, then a historical society or museum would be good c...
  27. freiheit, That's beautiful.
  28. IronLace, Boy howdy, this one sure caught my eye. It's adorable. <3
  29. Grantcody, Cool. :-) I hadda look those up: *snip* In the December 2015 issue of Farm Collector, an article on the Vaughn post auger suggested that the U.S. Cavalry used the augers to create ...
  30. Oops, page seven: https://archive.org/details/N026634/N026634/page/7/mode/1up
  31. kirbeelomgren, Thank you for providing some of the last needed tidbits of information to solve this UNSOLVED MYSTERY post (even though the original OP is long-gone, and thus can't mark it as "SOLVED")...
  32. mp.kunst, Thanks for this. The original poster isn't around to care any more, but I do. };-) So the Beatles opened with "I'm Down" (I've always liked that one). McCartney doing his Little Richar...
  33. https://www.discogs.com/release/10168618-The-Beatles-Renaissance-Minstrels-Volume-II
  34. Interesting. Dunno why anybody would have described this as "THE BEATLES 'LAST LIVE SHOW,'" if it's a recording of the 1965 Shea Stadium concert (and it does look like that if you read in between t...
  35. Steptoe1, Google Lens turned up a twin advertised as having tested as being silver: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1483423375/bulldog-in-unmarked-cast-white-metal BTW, it might well be silver, but...
  36. dav2no1, Yep, nothing lasts forever, even archival quality DVDs. I actually don't have very many movie DVDs. I do have a fair amount of music CDs, and I recently ripped all of them so that I could ...
  37. Emsien, "Ok last update I guess, unless someone new answers me with definitive information." You never know; I recently have been bowled over by new information on an old obsession of mine. };-)...
  38. JohnofVA, Welp, there they are, hiding in plain sight at IMDB dot com: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0030418/mediaviewer/rm1258060288/ It's the couch and one of the chairs from the 'Gigi' giltwoo...
  39. JohnofVA, Thank you so much. :-) This post needs some more spiffing up when I get time; however for now, I'm going to mark it as a "SOLVED MYSTERY," thanks to you. Incidentally, I chased down a ...
  40. mp.kunst, What an excellent find. :-) So the SF foundry had been in business since 1973, and among the items they made were metal tags and metal key rings. The trademark was canceled in 1991, su...
  41. Oh, and I've seen "Marie Antoinette" with Norma Shearer and Tyrone Power, but never noticed the 'Gigi' furniture, though. That's the way it goes with me. A lot of times I'll be idly half-watching a...
  42. JohnofVA, You own this furniture set? Color me mind-blown. Yes, I can well believe that Reynolds bought the set at the auction, because IIRC, at one time she had ambitions to create a museum of Hol...
  43. Emsien, That's a good catch on the railroad name changing in 1981. It's one more thing that narrows down the time frame of that brass key ring fob. I would have given you a contact link for The Bra...
  44. Emsien, Yeah, it's a bit unusual not to find any twins of something like that. I did find a brass token of a 1986 NFL schedule made by the same outfit: https://www.ebay.com/itm/256255507915 I...
  45. Hi, Emsien. :-) I suspect that what you have is a souvenir (suitable for attachment to a keychain ring) of the Durango <-> Silverton (Colorado) narrow gauge railroad. I've been on that excursion...
  46. Hi again, tmarty9. :-) Is this you?: https://www.reddit.com/r/vintagesewing/comments/1iucjvn/universal_model_kzm_bobbin_size/ Yes, that Type/Style A bobbin on the British site is Class 15. ...
  47. Newfld, It isn't the 'wrong site' for an operator like this. They're getting free advertising. No, I'm not defending them.
  48. Not as old as this one from 1936: https://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/object/nmah_1461445 *snip* Charge Plates are an old school term for credit cards. And yes they would place the car...
  49. Golgatha, It sure looks like it. I'd tell the staff, except they've ignored my last several requests for assistance with various legitimate problems. CW S&T is a ghost ship.
  50. earthandmagneto, Cool. :-) Yeah, I'd say that the vintage is 1970s or earlier. It looks like it's smaller than the more or less standardized size of modern U.S. credit cards (approximately 3.25" x ...
