#antique label

[luv-lee]

I truly lost my mind when I saw this tag in these gorgeous vintage (antique?) men’s pajamas. The address, 1210 F Street NW Washington, DC was (I immediately recognized) about half a block from my dad’s office building for all the years I grew up.

P.T. Hall turns out to only have inhabited the building from 1906 to 1915, so that neatly dates these pajamas to an amazingly specific window. The photo on the right shows what the building looked like in the 1920s— P.T. Hall was in the building on the far right, by that time the store Erlebacher’s. Today (and in my conscious lifetime) the block is directly over the metro stop Metro Center and is a big pink marble building in a much more modern style than those shown above.

based off an actual thing that happened to me

#my art #stardew #stardew valley #stardew sebastian #so the story is #i was in this antique store because I wanted to browse the place #and i eyed this jar of seashells that was labelled 1998 #it looked cool #the lady at the counter saw me and said oh those were handpicked from #some beach on the east coast #and i #The idiot stick riddled with social illness #said oh haha nice #and then we had a painfully one sided conversation on said jar of shells #I was the only person in that store #so i felt stupidly obligated to buy them #and I did #now they sit on my desk and I don’t know what to do with them

i shop goodwill racks by fabric tbh i do a visual scan for interesting/pleasant texture then physical touch confirmation, then i look at the label to try and date it to a decade, if it appears to have been manufactured pre-2010 finally i confirm material using the fabric care tag. all within a couple seconds over and over and over again

#that’s the real secret to how i find the good stuff #being able to approximately date labels is a huge portion of it not gonna lie #really not difficult once you get the hang of it #this technique will eventually magnetize u to old department store or antique items

Venezia

Serge Simonart

Hannibal, Veurne 2020, 92 pages, 16,5x24,8cm, Hardcover, ISBN 978 94 6388 750 2

euro 55,00

email if you want to buy [email protected]

“Every day, a first-time visitor to Venice will enquire about the most direct route to his or her hotel. ‘The shortest or the most beautiful?’ I once overheard the concierge at the Hotel Des Bains respond. The tourist who chose the most beautiful route is still wandering the streets. This is a unique photobook in which to wander and lose oneself.” Serge Simonart

Venice is already the subject of thousands of unremarkable travel guides and photo books. Only an original and tactile collector’s item can lay claim to a worthy place in today’s Google age.

This evocative book is brimming with a wealth of Venetian memorabilia: nineteenth-century photographs, engravings, hand-coloured magic lantern slides, antique postcards, old luggage labels and keys for long-lost luxury hotels, eighteenth-century gold ducats, antiquarian erotica, masks, invitations to Carnival balls, and the list goes on. Neither a travel guide nor a summary of unmissable sights, Venezia takes readers on an atmospheric pilgrimage along mythical peaks. Resembling a rare volume from 1895, this gilt-edged book captures all the mystery, glamour and faded elegance of the most miraculous city in the world.

With inspiring texts by Serge Simonart and illustrated with dozens of authentic photographs and documents.
