Okay, we're way off the Mauser topic here, but...;

Big Donut was a chain of doughnut shops that once dotted the Southern California landscape.

There was one in Van Nuys at Kester Avenue and Sherman Way, one half mile from where I was born. A girl I knew in High School worked there. It looked just like the one in the photo from the previous post with drive through windows on either side and a walk up counter in front.

Like so many things, they were fondly remembered after having been rendered nearly extinct by time and evolution. Now coveted as fine examples of 'Roadside Architecture', there are a few survivors extant dressed in various livery. The 'Randy's Donuts' in Inglewood is often a 'location' for motion pictures and television productions.

Thinking of this just got me to 'Googling' Big Donut... I'll edit some photos to this post in a few.







Grand opening of the Van Nuys store, 1/2 mile from where I would be born seven months later. Mom liked them, I may have 'eaten' some prenatally.


A scene from the 1988 film, Earth Girls Are Easy...



And the final journey of the (actual) Space Shuttle Endeavour, being towed to a Los Angeles museum.

Here is a link to a 'blog' featuring the former Big Donuts;

Enjoy,

BR.

Thank you, John (NitroX)!

Your prompt reply and offer to re install the images is greatly appreciated. You have reinforced my opinion that NitroExpressForums is a first rate website and a credit to the worldwide community of those who appreciate finely crafted firearms.

To all;
John and I will be working to restore the images deleted by Photobucket and, over time, to create an archive of those and other pages of the 1939 Stoeger catalog for the enjoyment and edification of NitroExpressForum members and visitors.

Thank you (wado),
Brian Rothhammer

Thanks. Loaded up your first two images. Send to me, or upload onto a drop box all the other images, and we will see about getting them in on NE as a permanent archive.
