I remember throwing a glass vacuum bottle across a marsh after falling. Could not afford a stainless. Started carrying a can and wire to make tea

If there was the least question, you parked aiming downhill when off hunting somewhere. “In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” ― George Orwell It's not over when you lose. It's over when you quit.

I really appreciate those kind of antiques. They last and last. I've only seen them, the corks turned into gaskets or wine bottle stoppers for commercial use. And I thought my Aladdin Thermoses were vintage because they were the last ones made in the USA. I.was surprised to see the USA stamp, so I bought them all and gave them as gifts to friends and family. They replaced the inventory at the same store with the same looking Chinese imports the next time.

The were great insulators when not broken. Got the SS bottles as soon as they were available.

They call the part's changers "technicians" these days. Most now, could not do an engine overhaul or valve job. They shop them out to a machinist. I still own a dwell meter and timing light. LOL! I could still static time an engine, after an overhaul and have it start within 5 seconds.

She was working in my sisters jewelry store and called my mom. On the stores landline phone. She’d never even seen one. All excited about it and the newspaper lady heard her excitement as she told grandma about the cord it had.
