So Ive been looking through a lot of pictures of my grandfather who I didnt really get to know to well as he died while I was fairly young but I found these pictures and I feel he would have been a big supporter of the Fine Living, Home, Design & Auto. He was an architect, artist, and for the hell of it bought a Rolls Royce and chauffeured people for fun. Here are some pretty neat pictures that I think are fitting.

Who was he? Kind of looks like DeForrest Kelley. Is the purpose of this thread for everyone to post cool pictures they find, or just you? Please clarify. In the meantime, I found this:

He was no one famous but he tried to get his name out there. I just kind of wanted to show these pictures because I thought they where cool. I say anyone can post cool pictures but I think it would be better to keep a theme and maybe post older family members. I am sure people have cool pictures of family members that would be nice to be seen by others.

That he did. While cleaning the attic I found every box for each item even tubes along with the manuals.

While normal people had kitty cats as house pets he went a little bigger. Yes it was aloud in the house.

They where late 60's early 70's. Sadly most the electronics where sold by my grandmother before I could teach her that they where valuable then she thought. Although from the boxes I found there where 6-8 mcintosh items, Grado, among others I cant remember off the top of my head.

Your grand dad-looked like Mik Jagger and had a mountain lion for a pet?

I wonder how many times LabelKing has jerked off to those pics. Very cool finds, BTW.
