In The Wild
I found this at the FP Goodwill store.
This is a rare blue Crown Trifari Necklace & Bracelet Alfred Philippe Blue Fruit Salad necklace and bracelet set from the 50s. Scored for 1.99, sold for $225.
Man, I love my gig.

The Sixth Decade
Delighted to have found a scarf in The Wild that almost matches my 80s plaid jacket. I was wearing this yesterday in Cracker County, IL and was called a 'liberal mess' by a passing woman.
I suppose plaid indicates a uniform but bish, I'm much more to the Left.

Ingenuity
From a generation of menfolk who had the ability to ideate via years of tinkering in the garage. Men who took Shop classes in high school and were challenged towards results and, as a result, had self esteem and confidence.
These men were kids who learned about mechanisms and engineering while playing with their train sets.
My dad was one of them.
On either top side of this garage rear view mirrors had been mounted to allow a view of the alley when exiting.

I'm a Hollywood Darling
This man's father bought a hyper rare Orry Kelly necktie via the 1920s from me.
Kelly was making these while he was in NYC with the help of his then lover, Archibald Leach, who of course became Cary Grant.
He sent this photo today along with:
Hi Christian,
My son really liked his birthday gift! I’ve attached a photo he had taken at Hearst’s Castle. He is on one of their Boards. They had an event Sunday which gave him an opportunity to wear it.
The NY Times interviewed him about the tie during the event. I don’t know if/when they will use the interview. Thanks again!
