Vintage 1937 Rick Model 100 Silver Hawaiian in very good condition (and I have done no polishing, reconditioning, etc.) with original hard shell case. Believe this is a 1937 as there is only one knob and that means this is year one for this model. Serial # at top of peg head is stamped D999. I bought this from the daughter of the original owner in the 1990s and only played it a bit before it was put in storage. Has a cloth backing on the bottom to stop it from slipping on the player's lap. Could...

The miniature car is one of the most popular and enduring toys, almost as old as the machines that inspired them. Some are veritable miracles of technology in miniature, with functioning headlamps and front-wheel drive; others are lovingly crafted to a fine level of detail, with real leather seats and hand-painted finishings. Some rare older models are today worth a fortune, especially if the packaging is intact. Collectible Miniature Cars is a charming trip through the world of the toy car, featuring...

Men and Women of the 1930s is an original and challenging critique of the issues of memory and gender during this trying decade. Montefiore asks two principle questions; what part does memory play in the political literature of and about 1930s Britain? And what were the roles of women, both as writers and as signifying objects in constructing that literature? Montefiore's topical analysis of 1930s mass unemployment, fascist uprise and 'appeasement' is shockingly relevant in society today. Issues...

This is a reprint of a small set of books originally published in the 1930s. Each of them tells the story of that bear's particular place in the family. Baby Bear came to live with Father Bear and Mother Bear when he was just one minute old. Mother Bear wanted a little Baby Bear with brown eyes and little pink heels. Father Bear had a garden, too. He planted turnips for Mother Bear, spinach and little red beets for Baby Bear, and corn and cabbage for himself. These bears are an inseparable family...

With his spectacular set designs for Douglas Fairbanks' Thief Of Bagdad , William Cameron Menzies initiated a legendary body of work still studied today. The first man to be credited as a "production designer," Menzies multi-dimensional approach coordinated set design, lighting, costumes, make-up, special effects and later, color. At the very first Academy Awards in 1928, he received an Oscar for his work on Tempest and The Dove . When he turned to directing, he created the visually stunning epic...

At an unprecedented and probably unique American moment, laboring people were indivisible from the art of the 1930s. By far the most recognizable New Deal art employed an endless frieze of white or racially ambiguous machine proletarians, from solo drillers to identical assembly line toilers. Even today such paintings, particularly those with work themes, are almost instantly recognizable. Happening on a Depression-era picture, one can see from a distance the often simplified figures, the intense...

Hidden Conversations introduces Robert Langs radical reinterpretation of psychoanalysis by presenting and expanding his ideas in new and accessible ways. It is the first clear account of the theories underlying Langs approach, placing them within the context of the history of psychoanalysis and showing, for example, that Freud nearly discovered the communicative approach in the late 1890s, and that in the 1930s Ferenczi also anticipated the method.

What a dandy! Originally, typewriter manufacturers attempted to achieve the much-desired "noiseless" state by using various methods of muffling the sound -- with covers over the mechanism or with weighted plates to reduce vibration. Eventually it was in modifying the action of the type bars to stop precisely at the platen, which accomplished the best sound reduction. This innovation by C.C. Colby of Quebec, and one of the most prolific of typewriter inventors, Wellington P. Kidder, was sold to...

FAMILIES FLOW DOWN Prescott Avenue toward Cannery Row—one of tourism's great crossroads—searching for things to nibble on. In their sneakers and T-shirts they make the place seem playful. But back in the 1930s, when two dozen canneries handled over 250,000 tons of sardines a season, it was anything but. Waiting for a latte at Starbucks you gaze at 1950s black-and-white photos of abandoned canneries and desolate streets. Then you walk out among the ice cream crowds with a new appreciation. Here on...

Released after foiling a prison break, Chaplin makes the acquaintance of orphaned gamine (Paulette Goddard) and becomes her friend and protector...
