union pacific buckle When I was young we called old stuff “antique”. Today, it’s vintage. And, according to fashion mags and ezine articles, vintage is in. To my dismay, it’s often referenced in the form of Punky Brewster type legwarmers and metallic Members Only jackets. If you don’t know what either of those are, be grateful.
Anyway, I found a great story of a guy whose friend stored all his 70’s belt buckles when he went away for college. The friend returned them more than twenty years later and, as their original owner explains, his kids went nuts for them. The point is this: Get your vintage on. Dig through Dad’s closet and Mom’s jewelry box. And don’t fret if your padres didn’t hang on to their flare jeans and big belt buckles. Vintage stores and stoop sales have plenty of fun stuff to satiate your “antique” appetite.
