About Us

Hi, I'm Cliff Aliperti and this is the new VintageMeld, now a part of things-and-other-stuff.com, est. 2002. This part of the site is for discussing general collecting and collectibles, the objects and pursuits which don't fit under any specific heading already found on the site.

Movie Collectibles Video ID Guide for 1916 MJ Moriarty Playing Cards plus some sample images of the Talmadge sister variations. A favorite of mine to collect!

Movie Collectibles Video ID Guide for 1929 Kashin Motion Picture Stars photo cards, plus some text about the W618 Movie set as well as the R316 Baseball set.

A video history of Harper’s Weekly with a concentration on several back issues of the popular illustrated magazine from 1879 plus the work of Thomas Nast.

Video showing off ‘47 and ‘48: The Magazine of the Year, including a look at 14/16 covers, mention of contents inside and a brief history of the publication.

A few weeks back I created a Video ID Guide featuring some postcards which were smaller reproductions of the beautiful 11″ X 16″ prints included in the “John Ford Presents Cowboy Kings of Western Fame,” book/collection. I’d mentioned how I’d handled a few of the larger sized collections and referred viewers to my Photo ID Guide showing off this fantastic collectible while bemoaning the fact that it’d been a while since I’d had the pleasure of handling a set.
