Hey Girls, What A Cool Vintage Find!
It's a Sweet and Girlie 1960s Ladies Shaver By Sunbeam!
This one's a beauty too and she's in great working order.
She took the hair off my wrist, no trouble when I gave her a little test drive earlier.
The outside of the ivory colored hardshell hinged box is a bit scruffy, but the inside is just gorgeous and the pretty shell pink razor itself is too, she looks barely used.
If you were a girl of shaving age in the late 1960s, chances are very good that you had one of these classic shavers too; everyone did. (Mine was boring old white as I recall.)
They don't make 'em like this anymore. These hardworking little ladies really are a quality products and with a little care will run forever; pretty much.

Embossed gold and red patterned paper is glue-laminated to Baltic birch plywood and varnished with matte urethane to protect the paper and retain the paper's texture and sheen.
I've had this idea for months but we always end up eating the props! The filling I used is chicken and avocado with spinach, tomatoes and cheese. It's the first time I've made the seasoning and amazingly, I had all the herbs and spices in my cupboard.
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
Fun facts for today:
I always thought taco shells looked like saddles, they even rock back and forth like one of those bucking bronco rides. As it turns out, saddles are hyperbolic parabolas whereas taco shells are just, well, U-shaped.
There's an inordinate number of herbs and spices starting with 'C' (at least in my cupboard) - chilli, coriander, cumin, cardamon, cayenne pepper, cinnamon.
A custom built guitar case for the Martin Backpacker, made from various plywoods, veneers and solid stock. A felt-covered foam sheet fitted inside the lid, hinged with 10mm SOSS hidden hinges, firmly yet gently holds both new style and old style Backpackers in place.
The case is covered in washi, a hand-made Japanese paper made, in this case, from mulberry pulp and oat straw. The washi paper is decoupaged on with many coats of exterior urethane varnish and then waxed for good measure. The handle is a piece of pretty bamboo and the case ties shut at three points with crimson laces.
Felt lines the bottom of the case, a lace keeps the lid from swinging too far open, and soft pine yokes cradle the neck at two points.
The gig bag that Martin provides with the Backpacker is not protective - witness all the pictures of broken pegheads posted online. This case will protect a Backpacker during travel, but cannot safely be checked as baggage - better to toss it into the overhead bin, which it will fit easily.
July 3rd 2:45 PM - Sold to Paul of Crown and Bee, a person of impeccable taste.
Here's a recent Ebay purchase, perhaps the best Ebay deal of the year for me. This little radio (with its owner's manual, warranty card etc) was listed with a Buy It Now of $4.99. How could I pass that up?
This is a very tiny, eight transistor, AM radio. Standard manufactured a long and successful line of these Micronic Ruby radios starting in 1965. (I believe there were 13 different models)
Most, if not all micro radios were sold with these hardshell (jewelry box) cases.
Most of these Micronic Rubys do not work today and due to their small size they are very difficult to repair. The radio takes two very small "button-sized" sized 1.5 volt batteries.

I am uncertain of the model number on this one, the badge on the back is missing.

Below is the first Micronic Ruby, the SR-G430.
Ja hoor...ik moest en zou wat nachtfoto`s maken vanavond.
2 paar sokken, een thermobroek onder een werkbroek, een trui, een fleece, handschoenen en een outdoor hardshell. Het mocht niet baten, aan de rivier stond een ijskoude en gure wind die overal dwars doorheen blies.
Na 5 opnamen ben ik tot op het bot verkleumd maar afgetaaid met een magere oogst.
Moet nog maar eens terug maar dan wel als het wat warmer is. Een kamera in het donker bedienen met handschoenen aan is ook een sport...
This is what I normally pack for a 2D1N or 3D2N kind of trip during winter in Australia (its not really that cold). 4789g total weight. This is current as of 18 May 2013 and will be constantly changing as I find new equipment or realise I do not need certain pieces. I know I can cut down weight in certain areas but haven't done so yet due to either cost or safety reasons.
I will normally be wearing on my body a Kathmandu Goretex Hardshell 576g.
The rear compartment shows some of the construction technique I used to create a mill pond for my sawmill. First I built the perimeter out of 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick Styrofoam sheet. Then I used wadded up newspaper or catalog pages to shape a rough form. Finally I used plaster cloth dipped in water to construct the hardshell. After the hardshell was completely dry, I painted it and added ground foam for soil and grass. The front compartment is a hill in its early stages, and you can see another hill further back on the other side of the creek.
The mill pond required a depression, whereas the hill needed Styrofoam chunks to give added height and strength. If you've ever studied landforms and used contour maps, you know that depressions and hilltops are inverses of each other as are valleys and ridges.
Made for Bob Divine of the Fabulous Dialtones to hold his Martin Backpacker. In fact, Bob owns two of the original style Backpackers, one electrified with an under-saddle pick-up, the other plain vanilla acoustic steel string.
Next time you need to book a band to play classic rock in the D.C. area, pick up the phone for the Fabulous Dialtones.
Every little thing you should begin playing right out of the box! Package consists of Fender Squier Guitar, Gearlux Hard-shell Situation, Austin Fete Instructional DVD, Guitar Stand, Clip-On Receiver, Bonus Strings, Band, Picks, String Winder, and also Austin Mart Sprucing up Fabric. The Fender Squier
Yet another sturdy case for travel with your trusty Backpacker - sold, but I will build more Fall, 2014.
Pecky mahogany plywood, leather strap and steel snap closure featuring buffalo head nickels, leather hinges, bamboo handle.
See how the case is made in my albums.
While walking along the shoreline at Cape May Point one morning I came across this female hardshell Blue Crab. Originally I assumed she was just another dead crab that washed up on the shore during the tide change.......
In the words of bassist/vocalist Jonny Bell, "It was mid-summer last year when Crystal Antlers were floating around in a pool and decided to move to Mexico to write our next record. Several months later, after completing our sixth tour in a row, we moved into a barn in a small farming town 100 miles south of the US-Mexico border. This is some of the music that we emerged with from that experience."
BIO
Long Beach, California-based Crystal Antlers first rose to prominence in 2008 with the release of EP, a self-released recording the band supported with heavy touring. That same year, they were signed by Touch and Go Records, who released Tentacles in 2009. Since then, Crystal Antlers have continued to tour heavily, playing anywhere and everywhere, all the while expanding their fringe-psych-meets-garage sound.
