I thought bathing with your new blue Jeans in warm water to make them fit perfectly was done all over the world back then.

OHHhhhhhhhhhhh. I did not know that. It all makes perfect sense now. I guess it was "a thing". To bad she didn't do it top less. Or perhaps shrinking her top to fit her breasts?

I use an old Hoover from the 60's. Very heavy, and all cast metal. The only drawback is that they no longer make belts for it that last more than a few uses.

That's because the today rubber belts are junk compared to yesterday's rubber. Ever notice how wiper blades used to last for 3 years back then. Today's are designed to last for less than 1.
The advances over the decades are to make things obsolete and disposable VS everlasting.
Here are a few more things I found in that car.
Remember when everything ended in O-matic?

Wow. If people only knew. I would love to time travel 50 years in the past and show people a I-Phone. They would freak out and have to be committed probably.

I always thought that id like to go meet my grandparents when they were young. Come knock on the door pretend to be a stranger and say hello just to get a small glimpse of the lives they lived in the tales that i hear from them.

If i could really go back in time, i would love to do that too and 1000 other things but that was just a example.
My luck, if I went back in time, I would probably kill some bug or something and change the whole course of human history, probably for the worse.

Original 'Dust Buster'!
I had one of these for many years, dump find I guess, completely went through it, cleaned & lube it, polished the aluminum, bag & brush were in great shape, the only thing I replaced was the cord and plug.

Ah yes. The old darkroom timers.
I never used one as the only thing I did in the dark room was slit rolls of foto paper to send to our foto lab. I seem to remember old junk like that lying around 30 years ago.
No need for anything like that these days. No more film and fully digital printing.
