1920s tech: gotta love it. It's the same stuff in my antique toy trains.
I bought my toaster ~2000, but it too has 1920s tech. No chips, no WIFI, no bluetooth. Just a heating element and a bimetal strip to break the electrical connection when you've reached the desired time limit (adjusted with a lever operating a simple rheostat).

On the cover of the March 1928 edition of The Strand Magazine - Bulldog Drummond, the no-nonsense (ie reactionary and sexist), two-fisted British foiler of villains, based by "Sapper" (H C McNeile) on many men he knew who missed the 'adventure' of the Great War. #BookChatWeekly #thrillers #1920s
Rediscover a 1925 hit! Eddie Cantor's cheeky comedy tune If You Knew Susie (Like I Know Susie) — a vaudeville-era earworm originally meant for Al Jolson. Bright, bubbly & delightfully retro; perfect for fans of vintage pop and early jazz. #EddieCantor #IfYouKnewSusie #Vintage #1920s #Vaudeville #ClassicSong #Retro #Music #English

🎹 RHAPSODY IN BLUE
February 12, 1924 — Aeolian Hall, New York City.
A young George Gershwin sits at the piano. The room holds its breath. Then: a clarinet glissando that slides like silk into the American consciousness.
What follows is a collision — classical precision meeting jazz improvisation, the concert hall dancing with the speakeasy. A musical love letter to a city that never sleeps, written in blue notes and skyscraper rhythms.
Paul Whiteman called it An Experiment in Modern Music. History called it the sound of a new century finding its voice.
One hundred and two years later, those opening bars still shimmer. Still surprise. Still sound like the future.

Professor Leo Theramine demonstrates 'drawing music from the ether' for the great researcher into the supernatural Oliver Lodge along with Henry ('Last Night Of The Proms') Wood. A neat bit of publicity to plug the Theramine as something unearthly. (The Strand, Mar 1929) #theramine #musicsky #1920s
🚘 Old Blue 💙
This beautiful blue 1920s Citroën Type C is quietly resting in the garage of an abandoned house in Belgium.
How amazing would it be to get this vintage girl started up and take her for a spin on some winding country roads!

Once a bustling Victorian auction house, packed with buyers frantically bidding on exotic imports. There are two halls inside. The larger heptagonal hall features a central dome skylight, flanked by four smaller domes. Tiered wooden benches arc around a raised auctioneer's podium beneath five tall Art Deco windows added during a later renovation.

A hundred years ago, people who collected #books would hire artists to design personalized bookplates (stickers). Most just say "Ex Libris [name]" in a fancy font, but some are more creative:
🧵
1) "Terrible love brings rot and sadness to everything."
2) "Should you fail to return this book / the Argus Eye at you will look"
3) "This is a book the Muse gave you to read, little bear"
4) "Read not books alone, but men; and be careful to read thyself"
