Looks like some of the stuff I see at Cracker Barrel.

We had a cottage in Michigan that my dad and his brothers built. It has the stove.
It still worked when we sold in the 80's.
My mom's 1950 hair dryer complete with bonnet. It was still working in 2020.

Wonderful! I have an early coffee roaster.
Probably a one-off invention for roasting about 1# of beans in a fireplace.
It’s such a unique pleasure to have something that is still useful/working fine, after all these years.

I still have my moms. You are exactly right!
*Universal* was a brand made in New Britain, CT by Landers, Ferry & Clark.
I do see them a lot in antique stores. They cost about $10. with all the parts. You could find one, easily, I think, if you wanted to replace your old lost one.

Delightful! Brings back memories! Can you still buy malt, in a grocery store?
IIRC, BluesDuke used to be knowledgeable about vintage Mixmasters

This is the problem, so many vintage items are worth a few bucks. The problem lies in the finding the right person who wants or needs it. Bet you don't have one of these in your junk room. ;)

I have an axe that dates back to the Civil War.
The head had to be replaced and the handle has been replaced 2 or 3 times, but it still works great!

My *1906 Pearl Winthrop*....it was used in a c1880 house/kitchen....gracious it kept the whole wing of rooms warm; we turned it on about Labor Day and stopped using it about Memorial Day.
Learning to bake in it was quite an experience. God Bless our forefathers.

I still have the 2 bulb florescent desk light that MY DAD had—before I was born & I am 81. It swings & pivots into many directions, and has a very heavy base. I was using it this afternoon, posting 2020 bookkeeping for a client I have had for OVER 51 years.
I also have a 1920’s Los Angeles OAK school board desk.. bought at a garage sale over 40 years ago. .Heavy as hell, but I love it. Has a swing up platform on left side that has springs as thick as my garage door springs...which held an OLD fashioned typewriter—a HEAVY one. One drawer on the right side has multiple slanted spaces for paper/onion skin/carbon paper, etc. Also center drawer with pencil nooks.
I also have a hand pastry blender that belonged to my mother, and she was born in 1906.

My friend, born in 1954, a hot year in Missouri, still uses the fan his parents bought to keep him cool.

Gathering wood to stay warm was a large part of what you did to provide for your family, back in the day.
I respect the blacksmiths and their artful skill.
Altho out of print, Eric Sloane authored several books about wood, and antique tools

Make sure to soak the head/handle in linseed oil periodically. Stand it with had down on a cookie sheet that has sides, and pour in the oil. Leave that way for at least a week. I have had to do that with a large Mattock I have. also my AXE I use to split wood.
