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.

Maybe you have an old item *that still works* to share.
One of my most prized possessions, an antique apple peeler. I just love it; works flawlessly
Those antique apple peelers work because they are made of cast metal. The ones my wife buys these days are all made out of cheap flimsy plastic and either break, or flex so much that they don’t work properly.
She likes to make homemade apple sauce.
That oven is a real collectors item. And I ALWAYS wanted an apple peeler, seemed so smart and cool looking.
A little *shoe* comes out at the end of the peel and *kicks* the apple into your hand or a bowl. Of course you need a nutmeg grater for the nutmeg in the apple pie.
I had a good crank meat grinder cast iron with many different blades. It was lost and nothing makes giblets dressing like that old grinder.
That looks like some Inquisition confession getter!😎
Dad bought a Westinghouse 8 inch air fan in Moab Utah back in 1955. Paid over $50 for it.
It lasted till 2008. I still have it.
Today a plastic fan will cost around $10-$20 but will give out in a year or two.
Is that anything like the same one Ralph Kramden invented?
I also have an old Peter Wright Anvil that still works well!
Those things are hard to destroy but I did have to reface it after I bought it way back in 1973. Don’t know how old the anvil is.
PS Same for the plucking tool!
That is the BEST! Thank you for it!
Art Carney lived in Westbrook, CT, a town away from me; when you ran into him, he was the nicest, kindest person. A true gentleman.
Mother-in-law liked to tell the story of how she got her kitchen repainted including a new flat ceiling instead of the popcorn. It involved applesauce.
And a pressure cooker. And applesauce stopping up a pressure cooker vent — until the whole rubber vent blew out.
I have my great grandmother’s coffee grinder...she used to let me grind in the mid-late 50s...it’s probably 125 years old
It would make you smile to see how beautifully it works. Look at that peel!
No excuses for making an apple pie!
Often, all they need is a new cord.
Careful! She may end up in a venison stew! >:D
