MiG pilots used these instruments, vintage '60's-'80's, for calculating time, speed and distance problems, from low to Mach speeds.

These 19th-century lamps radiate charm and character. Imagine staying up 'til the wee hours reading Tolstoy (or Grisham) by lamplight. (Imagine how much oil you'd need for War and Peace!)

A new twist on power outages/emergencies, too (oil not included).
