I have a vintage Fallschimjager collapsing knife somewhere. It's an early post-war replica but I'll photograph it if it turns up.
I have skinny jeans, plaid shirts, scarves I wear year-round, polaroid cameras on my shelves, and fedoras just waiting to be worn. If it can't get any more hip- I mean, more vintage than that, then I don't know what can. Oh, and I know tons of recipes for tofu crab cakes - organic of course.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to listen to some music from a band that no one's even heard of ('cause I was there first).
Are they FEDORAS or TRILBIES? Many confuse the two.
A German Paratroopers blade? I am intrigued.
Fedoras, of course. I invented and worn the fedora before they became popular with the crowd, you know.
I'm pretty sure it was this guy who started the fedora craze.
Of course, if you were wearing fedoras prior to 1981, then hats off to you. :P
Here it is. I only partially opened it for demonstration purposes.
I have a Japanese type 99 rifle from ww2 produced in Tokyo.
Bad ass.
Very cool.
None of what I said earlier was serious. :P I was mainly making fun of how hipsters act and speak most of the time.
Really? I have a WW2 Japanese Arisoka type 38.
I have a huge 'Curly for president poster' that was my great uncles. I also have four gold knifes and a deputy sheriff's hat.
Yeah it had the imperial symbol shaved off and has the symbol of its manufacture. cool thing is that all the parts are there and is part of the original rifle except for the rifle butt plate and the dust cover, I got the butt plate but I decided not to replace the missing dust cover.
Clever little device, isn't it?
Mine has the shaving too. But it has missing parts.
Indeed. It was perfect for all occasions. Cutting yourself free from a parachute, preparing food, stabbing a sentry in the throat, etc.
Perfect for murder of Greek civilians.
Does a PS1 count as vintage? I'll put up a picture later.
Nah. They'd use guns for that. It's more dehumanizing to shoot someone from a distance.

The cruelest irony here is that Hitler admired the Greeks.
Meh, close enough.
On the subject of vintage video game machines, I used to own a store that had a video game museum with consoles ranging from the first generation (Coleco Telstar Arcade) to the seventh generation (Xbox 360). It closed in 2007, and I don't have most of those consoles anymore, sadly.
The Telstar Arcade was a funky little console. I kind of wish I still had that. It was the first console to use cartridges (although the games were actually pre-programmed on the system), and the cartridges were triangle shaped.
That looks like something to admire owning.
Fuuuuck....SS? Disgusting disregard for human life right there. I hope the fucker with the axe died slow.
I'm actually currently working at a museum so they have a few interesting items, here are a few:
A radar used to detect incoming planes, was used on Dome Mountain:
An old propeller of a plane that was involved in accident, in which all 7 members were killed (Fours of them were confirmed to have survived for months while the other 3 went on a boat in search for help, they were never seen or heard from again, the museum has the pilot's diary of his final months, we have photocopies for people to take and read).
An old wooden memorial that was saved from a fire because the personnel at the cemetery noticed it was falling apart and wanted to keep it preserved.
An Orenda engine that was used in a CF-100 Canuck plane, made by Avro Canada, the creator's of the Avro Arrow, a plane that was legendary in the day.
A German flight suit, outfit, and a parachute with its ejector seat.
A creepy mascot from the old high school that was torn down over a decade ago, it was also used in my town's winter carnival.
There's other stuff but these are the older things that I find cool and could be considered vintage.
The markings on one of their uniforms do indeed hint SS.
I have a rock. It's probably thousands of years old.
