@Anesthetist I really like that brush. Do you think it would work for hats as well?
I would sure think so, the bristles are very supple. Just be careful not to buy the wool version, it is a substantially stiffer hair.

Not sure WHO purchased this mysterious arrival that landed today, but I love their sense of humor

Picked this up a few months ago because both of my kids love to write and have writing aspirations. Some of my favorite writers insisted on using a manual typewriter and I’m a believer. I learned to type from my grandmother who was a military secretary during WW2. She taught me on an older model than this with glass topped keys, one I wish I still had but she must have sold or traded it along the way. This is a 1954 Smith Corona Sterling. It’s a really fun machine.

Pretty visionary to have a @ in the 50s
I had to look that up, too - but the history of that particular sign is a little broader than you'd expect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At_sign

@Daniel-San @tody wow thats a lot of information on “@“ ! I like the document from 1345 that had it. Damn, the fact I knew what “@“ meant before the digital revolution is making me feel old.

Where y@? Is common enough in my life that I am well-familiar with it. Pretty awesome that it dates back to the 14th century!

I’m a sucker for a chambray shirt. Picked up this workshirt at a vintage market today. Not sure when they stopped putting the tag on the front but I like it. I own the western version and been eyeing this one for a bit now. Gently worn and a good price.

Around 2012/2013 i think

@Matt eyesight might be up there in things to go. I completely missed reading 10th Anniversary on the tag. Haha
