    Time To Give Up The Hobby

    Now there’s a name to reckon with. I have Lamb’s letters, and his writings & sayings are studded with many terrific quotes. Here are just a few: My theory is to enjoy life, but the practice is against it The greatest pleasure I know, is to do a good action by stealth, and to have it found...

    1930's Barling Tobacconist's Display Case

    My fault for trying to post while on an airplane. Or blame Delta, that’s my plan.

    PAD 3 New Ashtons but They All Have Something Weird About Them

    That depends. If you have RVM it’s a huge loss instead of gain.

    PAD 3 New Ashtons but They All Have Something Weird About Them

    You just thought it was the same. The corolias effect triggers RVM (reversal of vision metamorphopsia).

    PAD 3 New Ashtons but They All Have Something Weird About Them

    The coriolis effect strikes again. Will the smoke from that pipe circle clockwise?

    1930's Barling Tobacconist's Display Case

    Yup. I was just curious if there was something else not in the seller photos that was indicative of dating. Maybe a newspaper with a headline about FDR elected to a second term, or a copy of Action #1, or a cutter top tin of 3 Nuns with a tobacco tax stamp affixed. Or maybe a somewhat soiled...

    1930's Barling Tobacconist's Display Case

    True, but if relevancy is the standard this forum will become a wasteland.

    The Sale of Mac Baren Proved Costly

    It’s not unusual for companies to change auditors from time to time This statement is disingenuous at best. It’s not unheard of for public companies to change auditors but it is definitely unusual. And given that this happened in the immediate aftermath of a material adverse adjustment it...

    Feedback Loop Disintegration, Anyone?

    People have picturesquely (and with great relish) celebrated the ephemeral nature of all things for centuries. AI is only the latest fashionable harbinger of doom. No thing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away...

    Show Off Your Charatans Here!

    Someone more familiar with the timeline will need to chime in but personally I’ve not seen any reference to the Belvedere until the late 1950s. Before then it fails to appear in a number of places you’d expect, eg the 1951 catalog, numerous contemporary price lists, and trade advertisements...
