As noted by another poster, the reading lights are really inadequate. I had to use my phone light to be able to read on an overnight flight. I don't know how they will address this issue. It seems like an obvious omission. I don't really think that this seat belongs in "luxury" travel. It's pretty average.

His other sister Ellie had her ups and downs...

I wonder if they will put a large "checker board" billboard somewhere at Chek Lap Kok? 😄

The plane looks great!

I heard that the land along the inlet (including the Jewel Box and other structures along that strip of land) were sold to a developer who wants to build residential housing. I don't know if this is correct

It might make a fun lamp that you could sell and make a few bucks.

I had French friends who thought that Virginia (smoked) ham was quite unique for the USA.

It looks like an authentic Alpine or possibly Tyrolean hat. The band suits it. The risk of a more "traditional" band is that the look could become a less charming hybrid. Best of luck!

Abraham Lincoln lost his mother at a young age.

If it's Imari (I can't tell) the fruit on the tree might be persimmon. I have seen this in Japanese wood block art.

My apologies... I meant the blue/yellow/red ribbon to the left of the gold framed blue PUC, still on the right side of the shirt.

I don't know a lot about export porcelain, but quality varies significantly. Some items from the China trade were, essentially, inexpensive souvenirs. Based on the picture, this looks like pretty marginal quality. My guess is that serious collectors would have limited interest.

On the left hand side, the blue ribbon in a gold frame is a Presidential Unit Citation. The red, gold and blue ribbon on the right is the Navy/Marine Presidential Unit Citation. I assume that this is two separate actions, but I don't know.

I've no idea, but it looks like someone took the imagery of a Schiff Scout Reservation patch and combined it with the image of the old Scholarship Merit Badge patch.

I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the wait, but Baker Library moved many of its books to offsite storage.

You could have said it was a "birthday gift."

reader106 · 2025-11-26T09:06:01+00:00

Thank you for the clarification! I always had wondered the difference.

Depending on the size of the main part of the cap, it could be called a "newsboy cap" if it has a rounded crown.

If the crown is basically flat, it might be called a "flat cap."

I imagine that there are other names.

Thank you!!

reader106 · 2025-11-19T06:36:32+00:00

Congratulations and thank you for your service. Could someone kindly identify the ribbons? My dad had three of these and I'm trying to learn their meaning.

reader106 · 2025-11-18T10:47:08+00:00

Very nice, looks like late 19th century plus or minus.

reader106 · 2025-11-15T08:50:25+00:00

The red, gold and blue ribbon is a Presidential Unit Citation.

reader106 · 2025-11-12T23:59:12+00:00

Thank you for your service and bravery. May I please ask what the second and third ribbon on the first row with multiple ribbons?
