who remembers falling on your azz carrying a glass bottle thermos filled with soup on your way to school my old man used to like to carry one of those half/half hot tea and brandy when deer hunting. one bitter cold morning as we were putting on our coats at the truck getting read to spend the day on stand and he dropped his and the inside shattered. i thought he was going to start crying. me and my brothers splurged and bought him one of those new fangled steel thermos for christmas. i still have it. 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

More crap I've accumulated. The Hamm's cans came from the in-laws farm. They had been buried since the early 60's. The 3.2 blues.

Being able to push start the old pickup when it's cold. These days they're all autos. If there was the least question, you parked aiming downhill when off hunting somewhere.

Frank, that is a web image. I well remember the corks. That's pretty cool. 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.

Bruce True that, we have a torch cart made from an old Pontiac axel. I should tell Jake about that.

Points, condensers and spark plugs. Did 100's of those in the day as a mechanic. 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.

My 7 year old made the “snippets” section of our once weekly hometown newspaper the other day. 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.
