How do I find out the age of my vintage coat?

It’s a fabulous vintage black lamb fur coat. The only marking it has in it is a tag that reads “For expert cleaning and refurbishing mail your garment to Chevreau Cleaners 241 W 30th St., NY, NY 10001″ Please help me!

There is alot of vintage clothing sites you can go to. In search box just key in vintage coats. Also there’s alot of books available on vintage clothing that will date the item and also give you a book value of your coat. You may even find your coat on Ebay, alot of times the seller dates the item on which they are selling.

Raccoon Fur

Raccoon Fur
My raccoon is losing his fur…?

Does anyone know if thats normal after getting rabie shots or why he could be losing his fur?
I live in Huntington, Wv. They are both male.
Summer started a couple of weeks ago
No it is not legal to keep raccoons as pets.

Male or female….and do you only have one? Pregnant rodents usually lose their fur to make nests, but if it’s a male, then that’s definitely not the case!

Not sure where you live, but if it’s the beginning of summer over there, then he could just be shedding his winter coat.

Good luck!

Leather Coin

Posted: July 31, 2011 – 6:36 pm




Leather Coin
Geometry help…………………………………………?

A leather coin purse has the shape of a triangle. Two sides are equal in length and the third side is 3 centimeters shorter than one and one-half times the length of the equal sides. The perimeter is 28.5 centimeters… find the length of the sides…

use an equation to find the answer

Lets say the two sides of equal length have length x
The 3rd side is half the length of the equal sides, so 1/2x
The 4th side is 3cm longer than the 3rd side, so 1/2x+3

The perimeter is the sum of the four sides
x+x+1/2x+1/2x+3=3x+3
So
3x+3=28.5
3x=25.5
x=8.5cm

So the equal sides are both 8.5cm
3rd side =1/2x=4.25cm
4th side=1/2x+3=7.25cm

When is Your Old Furniture Worth Keeping

By removing the clutter in our homes and our daily lives we can keep fresh perspectives and maintain a sense of peace and order. One of the earliest achievements in our adult lives is sometimes the purchase of a new sofa and now that sofa has aged and we no longer use it. We still like the old sofa, we just don’t use it much anymore now that we have upgraded to a new sofa and moved this one to a room that doesn’t get a great deal of use. You really don’t want to get rid of it but don’t know if it is worth the cost of taking it somewhere to be repaired and given new life. The debate between the two options weighs heavy on your mind. Is it a wise choice to have this sofa repaired? What if having the couch repaired would cost as much as buying a brand new one? Is it still worth saving then? It is not always a waste to put that kind of effort and expense into saving an old sofa. We’ll talk about some in this article.

The frame can hold the key. If the frame seems sturdy and appears that it could stand up to more use that is a good starting point. By replacing the foam, coverings, and any worn out hardware you can have a brand new sofa with a bit of heritage to it, provided that the frame did check out alright. Minor design modifications are possible by adding more foam in places and this is a great time to try a new color and even a new type of fabric. Leather anyone?

Keeping a classic is often a wise choice. It is often said that they just don’t make them like they used to and this is true of furniture as well. You may be holding onto a bit of history. Vintage furniture pieces can become valuable as collectables because of their classic nature and styling.

Sentimental value can be a huge factor in deciding whether or not to keep that piece of furniture. If a piece of furniture has been passed on from generation to generation of your family, an heirloom like that is almost definitely worth saving. You can’t put a price tag on sentimental value, so by all means, try and save a piece of furniture that has much of it.

Of course, if the piece of furniture is nearly impossible to repair or will cost too much money; the best alternative is to commission a craftsman to create an exact duplicate of the furniture.

Still can’t decide if you want to save your furniture and have them repaired? Have a trusted craftsman or a furniture upholsterer look at the piece of furniture. As experts on the matter, they’ll be sure to know what to do.
