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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 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 Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warden Callaway Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip Snorter Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted October 23, 2023 Author Share Posted October 23, 2023 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.
