Can you make out what the pen marking is on the flap?

I have this pair of antique tennis racquets that are thought to be around 100 years old. The first one is by G. G. Bussey and is the Prince model while the 2nd appears to be labeled as the Shamrock....

Money saved is money earned.

I fully anticipate that Israel will hit Iran back hard and it is just a question of when.

It looks like rather "rough turning" to me, compared to how I would turn metal in a lathe.

Do you have a L4 mag case?

I go to a similar sort of place fairly regularly with lots of vendors with a "unit" and the owner of the establishment running the till. The way that it works at this place is that they will normally...

You could see what sort of deal/price reduction you might be able to get out of the antique shop.

The first 4 pics show the box with the joints of the new wood sanded down. The last 2 pics show wood plugs glued into the unwanted holes in the ends.

As an aside this wooden box was superseded by...

I'm not sure on that. I believe that many stores numbers may have changed in the post war period? Im not sure if Peter is able to shed any light on that question, please?

Don't forget to pack your flak jacket and kevlar helmet.

If you're planning a visit to Tehran as well while you're in that part of the world you probably want, for self preservation reasons, a...

I purchased this headphone storage box on eBay not realising that the bottom 2 1/2" had been removed meaning that it wasn't tall enough to store headphones in. After reaching a settlement with the...

The first 2 pics are of original Civil Defence Corps recruitment posters dating to the 1950's or early 60's. The middle pic was taken in May 1966 at the army school of Civil Defence, Devizes, when...

The following photos were taken on Civil Defence Corps training courses during the 1960's. As far as I am aware these photos have not been seen online before.

The country house is Danbury Park...

Thanks GeeRam, how interesting.

A better pic of the AJS and also one of my father's first motorbike, a BSA Bantam.

I'm not entirely sure about the goggles. The RAF did use goggles that looked similar, with flat lenses, prior to WW2 into the early part of the war until they started using MK 7 goggles with angled...

Sort of similar to the post WW2 British machete with regards the blade.

Not long after WW2, in the late 1940's, my father wanted a jacket and some goggles to wear while riding his motorcycle, a 1946 350cc OHV AJS. The place to go then, especially if you had a limited...

Do you use the term "respirator" in the US for a mask that is attached to one's face and has filters to clean the air before it is breathed?

It is amazing how many people use a thin "dust mask" in...

Yer but, there must be ways of removing the set concrete from the said tank. You could "attack it" with a "jack hammer" which may require a fair amount of physical effort or you could "explore" less...

The first 2 pics were likely taken late 1939 or early 1940 and the last pic around a year or so later. I do still have the teepee seen in the last pic albeit with a few moth holes and I do intend to...

It's interesting but there are only a limited number of things that can be said about it. Obviously in this instance the ground and environmental conditions appear to have been favourable resulting...

The toy helmets were available in the UK in the time frame of the late 1930's to around 1940 or so. What I don't know is if any were UK manufactured or if they were all US produced.

Can anyone think of a "plausible excuse" to explain the appearance of one of these on one's property to one's wife?
