Gift Ideas for the Vintage Man - Idea #6 - The Stork Club Suspenders
The Stork Club was a chic hangout form the 1930s through the 1950s. Owner Sherman Billingsley, a New York bootlegger, presided with long time mistress Ethel Merman on his arm. Guests included the Roosevelts, Kennedys, members of the Royal Family, Elizabeth Taylor, Walter Winchell, Bing Crosby, Marilyn Monroe, and many others. In the Stork Club Lore, a very young Dorothy Lamour was turned down for the job of nightclub singer. According to “Tips on the Table”, the inner sanctum called “The Club Room” was opened especially for these elite guests.
The Stork Club may be gone, but you can still own a piece of Stork Club history. A pair of Stork Club suspenders from the 1940s (scroll down the page) is being offered by Dorothea’s Closet for immediate purchase. You won’t see something like this very often!

1940s, gift ideas | Comment (1)Gift Ideas for the Vintage Man - Idea #5 - Flying Saucer Lamp
We come in Peace!
No bachelor pad would be complete without a lamp that resembles a flying saucer. This is what modern designers want to have been the ones to have designed…but it has already been done perfectly fifty years ago. This particular one is offered by The Vintage Peddler at $95.00. Quite the bargain to own the “real deal” than another ho hum lamp of equal price from the department store.

Not all Vintage Men dressed to the nines…..sometimes they dressed to the forty-nines!

From now until the new year, we are highlighting a gift idea every day for the Vintage Guy. Today’s suggestion is a nice stocking stuffer called the Bachelor’s Friend Vintage Socks offered by Wardrobe the Globe on Ebay. This stocking stuffer would be perfect to complete the vintage outfit with a hard to find item, or would be just the perfect thing for the guy who thinks “they don’t make them like they used to.” Give him socks that actually last! They would be also good for a collector who has it all…except for this!
