well....the weather is changing for colder and it was time
to put away the old metal kitchen fan for another year.
in doing so i noticed for the first time a patent date
of 1909 on it. wow pretty old. never thought about it.
we got it at a yard sale and it works great.
i knew it was old as the previous owner had obviously
replaced the cord.but over a hundred years old ?
possibly. wow. it was the only one with a heavy enuf
base not to "walk itself" off the counter when on hi speed
we were able to discontinue use of a window a/c
in that room after purchasing it.so it has saved us some
money.
after i thought about it there are a few old things in my
life that i use either everyday or at least semi often
kitchen clock w the mushrooms logo that was
popular in the 70s. burnt orange trimline phone.
like the heavy feel and color.
vintage norelco electric razor with 2 heads. the early one
before they went to 3 heads. been using 8 yrs never need
ed a new blade still shaves fine.i also use antique blow
driers. the ones without the annoying safety garbage.
my power tools are the chrome type that never seem
to wear out.
so got any old stuff u use.
decorative only dont count.
