My how times have changed in our households. Modern appliances and other inventions have afforded us conveniences that our predecessors didn’t have. Don’t you sometimes wonder what things were like a century or two ago?
Explore the past by looking at these vintage wares and try to figure out what they were used for. Some of these objects were more common during certain historical periods, or in particular parts of the world. Though they all share the same status of being antiques, you may find one or two of these items still in use.

Pyrex?
Bless her heart...nobody kept their teeth then
Indeed on a wood stove
My grandmother.....tiny ginger woman....my fav feline of my life ....daughter in law....of lady in the pic cooking ....married at 14 and lived in the cabin next door.....a real square log cabin
They all worked a 200 acre make a living farm
She had three kids by age 18
Almost died last one
Fembots today are truly clueless what actual strong women prevailed over aren’t they ..
All I have left are some tractors with points and condenser. I was pondering trying to machine up some parts to convert them to electronic. The dust eats up the cam and the points go out of adjustment too fast. Aftermarket conversion parts are poor quality.
Yes this is exactly what I had. Miss it muchly. I will have to look in the vintage stores when they re open.
I remember lady sunbeam we had the hatbox version
I have one sitting in my kitchen on top of a cabinet. It is the third one I had, first was my grandmother’s. I dont use this one anymore, but looking at it brings back good memories
“Oh chef of the future can it core an apple?”
Honeymooner’s Norton to Ralph. Not too many FReepers may remember this,.
What a wonderful woman!
I remember those strollers, they were from the 30s and 40s and had beads in the front for the child to play with.
Isn’t that a timing light?
Graduated bowls go high at auction, keep them safe.
I have THREE of those!!
Well; not THOSE those; but wheels that measure.
A very small one that you can adjust the distance for the correct scale on a map; and then you can roll it along the road, river or trail and see the distance displayed on an LCD window.
A second one for use in a building. A mechanical odometer type counter and a 3” diameter wheel.
And a larger one for outdoor use by rolling it along the ground.
Yup
Watching the young kid (with the goofy; two colored hairdo) learn the trade from his dad is fun as well.
This Old House had an odd object from time to time and the guys would try to figure out what it was used for.
When it is explained to you; you’ll get the point.
When my grandmother passed away, I rescued a Robbins and Myers fan from her closet. It was manufactured in 1927. Still works. On hot August days, I turn it on and will cool an entire room quickly. The pitch on the blades is about 45 degrees so it moves some air.
