Old times

I remember to many of them------ MEMORIES from a friend

My Dad was cleaning out my grandmother's house (she died in December) and he brought me an old Royal Crown Cola bottle. In the bottle top was a stopper with a bunch of holes in it. I knew immediately what it was, but my daughter had no idea. She thought they had tried to make it a salt shaker or something. I knew it as the bottle that sat on the end of the ironing board to 'sprinkle' clothes with because we didn't have steam irons. Man, I am old.



How many of these do you remember?

Head lights dimmer switches on the floor.

Ignition switches on the dashboard.

Heaters mounted on the inside of the fire wall.

Real ice boxes.

Pant leg clips for bicycles without chain guards.

Soldering irons you heat on a gas burner.

Using hand signals for cars without turn signals.

Good memories that brings back. Life was good back then and it’s a wonder we made it this far since we didn’t have seat belts in cars or helmets to wear when we rode our bikes. And if you did something stupid ya got your butt beat.

Well Pit....I remember all 25...so I guess I have 1 foot in the grave....
Here are a few more....

"Lincoln Vale of the everglades."

The "Whirly Birds"

Wooden "Fly Back Patel Ball"

U.S.Keds

The first ones are easy, My first truck was a 68 Ford 1 ton 360 with four in the floor bulldog (I Miss that truck) and it covered most of those... lol But I am lost with most of the 25..

I still like the dimmer on the floorboard. I heard about 100 or so Hoosiers got in bad wrecks when the started putting the dimmer switch on the turn signal. They kept wrecking when they got their foot stuck in the steering wheel.
