Nostalgic Things

[Pat Riot]

Here are 29 photos of items from yesteryear. I remember them all. I am not sure if I actually miss any of them.

 

How many do you remember?

Do you have any to add?

Uh does it say something about me that I remember all of them?

[Redleg Reilly, SASS #46372]

Uh does it say something about me that I still have many of those.........

[Tennessee Trapper Tom]

#4 - I used to love those tables and chairs. If I could find a new set today I would buy them. 
 

#7 - We still use a crock pot, but it’s a modern one. 
 

#8 - I have one sitting in my kitchen on a shelf. Occasionally I use it. I don’t care what anyone says, perked coffee tastes better than drip. 
Think about it. What do you call someone that’s all milquetoast? A drip. What do you call someone that vibrant and full of life? Perky.

@Tennessee Trapper Tom I just found these filters and ordered them on Amazon. I ran out and couldn’t find them in stores anywhere.

Except for number 19. I don't recognize it.

 

I have several of those things, and almost bought one of those aluminum percolators of the yard sale yesterday. If it had been stainless steel I would have.

[Cypress Sun]

I remember, owned or lived in houses/apartments with all those items.

 

I still have and occasionally use items 5, 6, 7*, 8*, 10, 15, 17 and 21.

 

I still use the exact model of item 7 on my nightstand. 

The exact model of item 8 was on my gals nightstand until last month when it finally died.

 

Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

Peanut butter logs.   Thought of them the other day and finally found some in a Mennonite store.   Not half as big as I remembered.  They also use to come in candy bar size. 

 

[The Original Lumpy Gritz]

#5- Still using the set I bought in 1975.

When they were still USA made....

I remember them all, but we never had 19 & 22! Repaired many of them over the years!! Both as a job and because I don't throw anything away!

[Forty Rod SASS 3935]

I still use about 2/3 of those things...or something similar.

[PowderRiverCowboy]

#7 I still use Sony one like this will post picture tonight.
 Funny that I just saw this and was looking at mine this morning thinking, damn I have had that awhile .

 

[Crooked River Pete, SASS 43485]

#19, my mom had one, when I got new jeans I'd put them in and forget about them for a few hours. Came out nice and soft.

[irish ike, SASS #43615]

Know them all had most, still have some of them.

[Cypress Sun]

Know what...#21 reminds me...time for some boiled peanuts.

They take the acid out of the coffee. Makes for a better cup of coffee. 

[Rye Miles #13621]

I have # 2 in the basement and it serves as a stand for a 24” flat screen tv

I have # 3 but never use it

#12 my basement is paneled 

 

#27 I have but don’t use it anymore

 

[Alpo]

Still waiting for all of you knowledgeable people to tell me what number 19 is.

Early wringer washing machine with merchandised mechanised wringer.

 

50's vintage Maytag

[Rip Snorter]

A wringer clothes washing machine - we had one in college days that we had cleaned out and used as a punchbowl at Wapatuli parties.  

Too quick EH!

Washing machine with a wringer arm.

[Alpo]

Thankee, y'all.

 

That was way before my time. Mama's washing machine was always square.

 

And with nothing in that picture for scale, I thought it was some kind of tabletop appliance, like that popcorn popper or the Crock-Pot. You know, something from the '70s or '80s. Like those other pictures.

[Eyesa Horg]

Earlier ones had a hand crank wringer and were powered by little 2 stroke engines!

That's where the old saying " don't get your ti.....um apron ya apron caught in the wringer" came from.

[Pat Riot]

My Mom used one of those wringer washers until I was in 6th grade. 1971. After that we went to the Laundromat. Those damn wringer washers were dangerous. If you got a loose shirtsleeve in those wringers they could pull your hand / arm right in. They didn’t have a safety cutout.

My mom had one until 1962 when she finally bought a modern washer and dryer. She still used it for heavy blankets or throw rugs etc. even with the new washer.

Wapatulis were fun,

What always amazed me, even starting sober, was how good the virtually random mixtures tasted.

[Subdeacon Joe]

I do miss those can openers.  We had one that you could pull the hinge pin, pull it off and put on a hand crank ice crusher.
