Thanks to David Legg, where ever you are!

I had a lovely evening out at the Redford Theater on Saturday. We went to see Phantom of the Opera with the organ accompaniment. This was my first time to the Redford and it was great!

Since the store was owned by your grandfather I will consider it. I just found this on the Shopgoodwill.com site. Some furs from your grandfather's store....

Oh that's wonderful, Lowell! Thank you so much for posting the ad. The Rollins looked pretty chic.

Thank you for the info on Jack's Place. I was able to narrow down the timeline for the Lieb Brothers tie via the makers tag. 1950's era.

Ok, how about Leib Brothers store? Or a men's store called Jack's Place? The Leib Bros tie looks older. The Jack's Place tie is a wide 70's tie.

I'll have to look into that. Thank you!

WTVS-56 did a show about Hot Fudge. If someone can find it online, it's worth watching.

I love idea that stores and movie houses gave out pottery to patrons. What a wonderful time.

Very cool, Savoyard. Thanks for posting them.

The plate i bought was the first Kern's pottery item i've seen. I'll have to keep an eye out for more!

I wonder what other colors were available? Did anyone have this plate in their family? Anyone ever sold one and for what price? I paid $30 and i'm pretty happy with it.

Wow! That's great, jcole. Thank you. Didn't know they came in other colors.

Picked up this plate at a local estate sale this weekend. I waw hoping that someone on the forum could help me with the history.

The plate says Ernst Kern Detroit on it. I know that is it from...
