I had these as a kid, except mine were painted different colors.

Ive been watchin hollywood remakes and their originals lately.
I know i might get hammered for saying this but true grit, jeff bridges played the role of rooster cogburn better than john wayne. It just wasnt a good part for him imho, pilgrim.
The newer gone in 60 secs was better movie than the original too, i thought
(Im not denying how much more difficult these movies were to make back in the day, just that it was less chaotic, better movie i thought)
I just learned the day the earth stood still (with keanu reeves) was a remake too. Im looking foward to seeing that original.

Yup, I have one of those...it once belonged to my gramma, and now is mine. Good 'ol USA steel.
Just works.

I raise... ;-)
All are Olde Thompson, the big pepper grinder is white oak and filled with Tellicherry peppercorns.
How about this....the vintage of it is unsure...sometime in the 1960s though.
Handcrafted out of Beechwood. You can see the minor imperfections in the dovetail joints...
A conical burr fully adjustable hand-powered coffee grinder...comparable electric crap nowadays is like 200 bucks. I got that for $35.
Power goes out, I can still grind me up some beans...

When this was your fridge...a Kelvinator
I can't find the exact model we had when I was a kid, it was close to this...bit less fancy though.

Yes the new ones are trash
Remember the old "weed slingers"? Good old fashioned American steel with a wooden handle. I got one probably a decade ago at a yard sale. The wood was splintered, and too short for me with my back problems.
I fixed that. My idea made it lighter, taller, and more ergonomic, making it easier to use. Still I only use it when the weeds get tall, and there is not enough to bother getting out the mower or weedeater.

I had one of these way back when...
Mine lasted a few days. Most of it got broken by my demon of a "brother" before I could use up the ink in the pens.

No baggies or zip locks back then.
Oh yes “Those were the days my friend….”!
Oh yes! I a long forgotten memory! Thanks for remembering!
Oh wow! I remember having a set too!
Had the exact same one
The good old days. It wasn't until I started working at a desk that I found I couldn't just eat Mexican food whenever I wanted it.
Ah yes. I could eat 2 large Supreme pizzas in one sitting, and not gain an ounce. People thought I had tapeworms. I still don't gain much weight, but I can't eat as much as I used to.
Yep, I remember lol!Does anyone remember these?

Who had one of these?
I've done it. It isn't hard. I inherited one of those popcorn machines made to look like a miniature of the big popcorn carts in movie theatres, but I gave it to a friend. I was going to sell it in her garage sale I was participating in, but she went apeshit for it, so I let her have it.
Never wanted to own a microwave, so whenever I have occasion to make popcorn I do it on the stove.
You still see Jiffy Pop in the stores too, the stovetop kind with the handle.
