Liberty magazine was a weekly magazine printed between 1924 and 1950.
It was one of the most popular magazines during its print run with a circulation of 3 million.
Does anyone remember sealed 45s?
They were popular in the early to mid-1980s.
I recall going into stores like Woolworth’s, K-mark or Bradlees and finding them there.
They’d either be organized in alphabetical order or according to that week’s Top Ten list.
There would also be a section of “Golden Oldies” – records from the 1950s or 60s that were being reissued.
I found these records recently at the local flea market.
It’s deemed the most thrilling two minutes in sports — the Kentucky Derby. The 139th horse racing event takes place this weekend.
This week’s My Vintage Video is a look back at one of greatest horses to ever run the Kentucky Derby.
His name is Secretariat and in 1973 he set a race record by running the track under two minutes (1:59.4).
The record still stands today.
Secretariat didn’t stop winning after racing in Kentucky.
He went on to win the Preakness and Belmont Stakes, thereby winning the Triple Crown in Throughbred Racing.
I was at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York over the weekend and I wandered into the modern design section.
One of the items on display was this ‘Bluebird” Radio from the mid-1930s.
It was designed by industrial designer Walter Dorwin Teague.
It’s made of glass, chrome-plated metal, fabric and wood.
The Bluebird’s sleek design makes it a sought after item among radio collectors and collectors of art deco.
There was a boom of Annie memorabilia in 1982.
The Broadway musical had become a major motion picture and little girls of a certain generation (my sister’s) became fans of the the little orphan girl.
This model kit is one the collectibles released at that time.
It was released by the Knickerbocker Toy Company.
