I actually had that radio in the photo! I converted it into an intercom in a 3 story house we owned at the time.

What do you want to see?

You have seen my jukebox. I think you have seen my vintage MG car. Like you I have a prewar wireless and a prewar bicycle. As yet I don't have the old Bakelite, phone. But I have the original 1960's plastic rotary dial handset that was issued to us in 1968. Most of my wardrobe is either vintage or copies of. I could so easily monopolise your thread Holly, so best leave it to others, unless of course you think differently!

I love old stuff, I want to see your MG, will dig around some old threads see if I can find it.

No need to dig around, meet Jessica, our MG. The one on the left.



We still have the first phone that we were issued with.


As Holly mentioned, the radio was originally known as a wireless in the UK.
This one dates back to 1922. I know that because my grandparents bought
new, in the year that my mother was born.


Apologies for the poor quality of my phone camera. This is
my wife, Tina, in her sewing cabin. The ironing board dates
back to the late 1920's. She uses it as a cutting table for small
components of a garment, like sleeves.


Following my hip replacement, my surgeon recommended
cycling and swimming as good exercise. This bicycle has been
in my sister's shed forever, I remember it as a child. Not
having a crossbar, it made it so easy with my very tender hip.
My wife made the vintage style trousers, the hat and blazer
my wife came across on a trader's stall at a vintage festival.
They get so many comments and compliments.

You have made my morning! Thank you, I love your style!

This is a photo of 1920's Hollywood royalty. He's called Douglas Fairbanks Jnr.
The young lady is Mary Pickford. Do you like his shoes? I love them.

Did you know that a shoemaker is not a cobbler? A shoemaker is called
a Cordwainer, and I know a very good one.


We think of vintage as something way back, but the
way technology progresses it makes my first cell phone
positively vintage.

We don't actually own a steam engine, but it was a privilege to get photo
bombed by Hercules.

I knew that a cobbler is not a shoemaker, HC.. because it's the family business on my paternal side.. my grandfathers had shops.. and it was my father's first trade

I love the shoes HC, I had a pair similar in the 1990's, we called them "Browns" and they were sooo expensive. I wore them out 3 times and the last time I took them for repair the guy just looked at me an said "Ain't gonna happen".

Just for iksentrik a close up of our MG. It was a glorious day.

One of the popular male fashions just before WW2 was that of the sports blazer. It's certainly not something that my family members who were around back then could afford. That aside, I do like to wear that style. Blazers, baggy trousers and fedora hats. Here's a couple.



The UK used to have an education grading system called the eleven plus.
When I passed my eleven plus exam in 1956, my father bought me this as a reward.
It's still in use today. People are both shocked and pleasantly surprised with a
greeting written in ink, with a fountain pen.

And, I still have my school satchel, I really am a hoarder.

I do believe I am one of two vintage items here. The other one is hubby.

Back in the day Holly, there were so many shoe shops:

So many cobblers too. Trainers were unheard of.

My Grandfather's straight razor. He bought it when he was 15 from his father's store in Minneapolis just before he came to Canada in 1906. He shaved with it for the rest of his life and it was passed to me when he died.
