The First Lady of Washington
Sadly I don’t have the name of the lady in the picture, we discovered that she was the first woman issued with a motorcycle license in Washington DC all the way back in 1937.
Art
Hedonist by Art of Kinetik
This boat, called the Hedonist, by Art of Kinetik takes the elegance of modern, wooden boat design to a new level. Each boat is meticulously handcrafted to the point where I feel slightly guilty referring to them as just “boats”.
Ladies on Mystery Motorcycles
Both of the vintage motorcycles in this image are seriously raising out interest today, that bike in the back looks like it might be the coolest motorcycle of all time and the sheer absurdity of that bike in the foreground must be hiding a tale or two.
American LeFrance V12 Speedster
This American LeFrance Speedster is a V12 custom built steam punk-esque monster with a 200hp engine, a chassis from a 1923 American LeFrance and so much attention to detail I’m convinced that it was built by a man with clinical OCD.
V-Squared Tee by Dodge & Burn
Dodge & Burn consistently turn out some of the most appealing tees we’re finding anywhere, although I guess the level of appeal is going to depend on how much interest you have in the industrial design of vintage cameras.
Donnie Moore in Duesenberg
This is a 1920 photograph of Donnie Moore in a Duesenberg racer, we’ve been struggling to find more information on Donnie but decided to share this picture anyway, in the hope that some of you might know a thing or two about him and/or that fantastic car.

Huntington Baseball Bat

Marlon Brando & Friends
We love this slightly goofy shot of Brando, so often in photographs he looks serious or downright angry, it’s great to see him having some fun with a couple of ladies that none of us would kick out of bed on a rainy Sunday afternoon.
Titanic Propellers Circa 1911
The sheer size of the Titanic never ceases to amaze, especially when you consider that it was designed with nothing but slide rules and drafting tables.
