    For many years, the only place I saw them was in barbershops.

    There are definitely differences of detail, but overall pretty similar.

    Some things look essentially the same after hundreds of years. Spray bottles work just fine as is. That said, things that look too contemporary can derail the suspension of disbelief.

    This reminded me of a crackerjack thread right here at TBBS: https://www.trekbbs.com/threads/props-re-used.81174/
    The web site your looking for might be referenced somewhere in those 26 pages.

    Have any of you tried to use a standard spray bottle to add milk or cream into your own coffee?
    I'm curious if that is a better way to do it, or is the standard way of pouring from a bottle or carton better?


    In the 32nd Century, Stamets hasn't upgraded his Spore Chamber Door to something more fancy.

    He's still using 21st Century Hydraulic Arms on his Spore Chamber Door.

    Perhaps the spray bottles are constructed of transparent aluminum. :p

    Wow, I wasn’t aware of this site. This is super cool and totally a “rabbit hole” to go down for a few hours. Topping off my morning coffee cup, I’ll see y’all later!
    Thank you!

    Make sure it's the kind of cup that we've been talking about here. :techman:

    Great thread! I’ve always been horrible about my search ability. Pity that many of the websites linked are no longer in operation.

    That and the Mr. Microphone in "Courtmartial" were the two props that always made me laugh as a kid (mid 80s).

    wow, amazing thread. The Late Greg schnitzer was such a passionate and knowledgeable source of information. Amazing insight into the props.

    “The wounds weren’t that severe…”
    No, doctor, I don’t suppose they would be.
