Well, I will have the space once I photograph all this stuff and get it out of here. Of course, I won't need it then. Thanks for the reflected-light suggestion. I will do just that.

Fantastic, Maggie! Thanks.

Thank you for the feedback, Sandra. I popped out to look up "Reveal bulbs." What wattage do you prefer?

Last week I took delivery of my first (53") roll of background paper for photography and the collapsible stands to support it. Now what do I use for lights? What is your preferred light, bulbs, wattage, etc. and where did you get your equipment? Thanks.

While "O" is a possibility I considered, I think it is an "A," because it is not a lowercase "A" but a script uppercase "A" just as all the other letters are script. I also searched for "O.B.C. Company" and found nothing, but "A.B.C. Company" brought many hits (I just haven't had time to search...

I did not check all of the 3,000ish hits on "Danz" and "Tucson" but like GoldenAge, I did note that there were many Danz families in Tucson, so I think that interpretation of that label is correct. While I did not find an ad specifically for Danz Western Wear, I found a 1951 ad for this very...

The label appears to say: "The A.B.C. Cy" (Company?) and "Makers"(?)

Away, I found the ad in the Ancestry.com newspaper database (a subscription site). The ad appeared in the October 10, 1962 issue of the Long Beach, California INDEPENDENT newspaper. I would be happy to give you a copy of the ad, but I am sure there are copyright issues involved and I am not...

I found a 1962 newspaper ad for "Hosiery by Don Loper" that featured the identical box. It further noted that: "For the first time Don Loper has created distinctive hosiery colorings as a complete fashion compliment for those women who demand shadings that will best complete their fashion...

Here is a pattern from the Another Time Vintage Apparel Web site. The description says it is a 1940s pattern; it seems to be similarly styled...

As part of my last computer upgrade, I asked for a component that could read those old floppies and they sold me a smallish 4" wide x 5.25" deep x .75" high unit that just plugs into one of the USB ports on my computer. Very compact and works well, so if you have a lot of old floppies you may...

Before I read your question, I looked at the photo and thought "Nice skating outfit." It doesn't look like a coat to me and it is too short to be a dress from that period. Could it be a skating outfit?

I looked at the original post quickly and when I clicked on the link I saw only the photo of the exhibition in which we look down on the items. It was that that reminded me of my own lifetime accumulation--only that one is neater. I hasten to add that I don't accumulate toothpaste tubes. When I...

Alas, it is...and that is why I have to purge.

Well, the quickest and cheapest is to print them at home, of course. Aside from that option, the two online sources I use most often are Walmart's Digital Photo Center and Overnight Prints. Walmart was the cheapest, if I remember correctly, but one of my many orders from them (for a...

THUD THUD (me falling over beside chezmov) That fabric is WONDERFUL.

Eileen, Thanks for the help. Yes, I would say the leather is thinner than some of the leather bags I have here and your observations about its possible origins are completely plausible. Many thanks!

I would appreciate any information about this leather bag that I picked up this weekend. It is about 17" wide x 11" high, has an APX nylon zipper across the length of the top, a small zippered inside pocket, and an outside pocket that snaps shut (see snap photo). Inside the outside pocket, by...

How wonderful! Isn't it a terrific, comfortable patio set? I think I got it through Frontgate and shipping it here convinced me that sometimes online shopping--and shipping--isn't always the way to shop.

I found one picture of one of our patios, shortly after my husband laid it. I neglected to note that chipmunks have added a little "character" to it now, as they tunneled under the perimeter of it and it is a little less level.

Susan, My husband (not a professional, but handy) did three patio areas in our backyard and curving paths connecting them all. One of our patios is the same round one as Tiffany's, but set within a rectangle of other pavers. Jonathan is absolutely correct, though, about the concrete paving...

From 1963: "'Fine lingerie was the first field I wanted to go into when I began designing and manufacturing in the women's apparel field,' states Virginia Wallace, top California designer...Miss Wallace started her vastly successful career with a plaid taffeta petticoat in 1947. There was a...

A 1967 newspaper article is titled Mini-Shifts Are 'It' on Waikiki and adds that "All da wahines at Waikiki wearing da new mini-shift. Too much good looking! It's sleeveless, shorter than most mini-skirts. Worn over bathing suits or shorts--meaning practically all day. Rainbow prints are most...

I found a 1968 newspaper blurb that said: "...a good men's shop for sports clothes in Honolulu? Either Ross Sutherland or Andrade shops. You'll find them on the main street in Waikiki or branches in Waikiki hotels."

I forgot to add that I think that dress is adorable!

I got only part way through one newspaper database when I saw an article about the founder, so I stopped looking, but while I was looking I saw ads from 1968-1974 and most seemed to be for junior dresses. A 1968 ad noted that Denise are Here dresses were designed in California and a 1972 ad...

I am not an expert on jewelry, but I think you will find that it says CORO.

Here is a little help on union labels... Union labels

Wonderful fun finds...but that face is definitely the stuff of Stephen King novels! :o
