I remember when I was very young my mother used to buy meat and mince it through that very contraption. I believe you would know mince as ground meat. We still have one of those old meat grinders in the garage too. I remember when I was a child, my mother would grind up pieces of beef though one of those and make the most delicious mince meat pie you ever tasted. Yes, it had real meat in it. Yummy! |

Kodak Retinette IA. Apparently, manufactured from 1959 to 1961. This belonged to my gran in England. Probably still works unless the lubricants have seized. No plans to test it.  Film is old technology I do not want to revisit. I have a ca 1948 Leica as well. Could not find my first "gee whiz" AF/auto-wind camera purchased in 1990: a Minolta 8000i. A blistering 3 frames per second.   |

Who can remember having a Psion Organiser? Ditto what Tony said. I was never so organized.  I never had any of the early PDA-like stuff. However, I did get my first computer in 1984 and never looked back. |

This is an Atmos clock my dad bought in 1966. There's no place for batteries and it never need winding. Daily fluctuations in temperature and barometric pressure keep it running.  |

Who remembers the ritual of the old Mercury Thermometer? Shake vigorously to move the mercury near the bulb, position under the tongue or under the arm and leave for two minutes, squint at the reading, then clean and store carefully. So much easier now that we just point a gun at the forehead or place a nozzle in the ear for two seconds.... i.ibb.co/P6Yyjdw/Tem.jpgBrenda |

Great one! My mother used an old Underwood....but a model a little later than that one. I don't remember the carriage being that wide.
