I'm 58 & related to many....in fact I still have the old kitchen table/pull up center leaf & chairs, but mine is Grey & the chairs have chrome handles. I think I still have a set of those gold leaf glasses in a box on the attic among others that have gold or copper trim. Some of the items, even tho we had them way back when, you can still get here. I have many old things that were my Grandparents or Great Grandparents, that I still use today. Much better than the cheap junk you can buy now. My house is 101 years old. I have hand built, hand carved, furniture dating back to the late 1800's & wouldn't trade it for anything. As for the outhouse....we have many Amish here that still use them, also many hunting camps have them too. Most of the older items pictured were built to last for many years, unlike anything made today. Sad.

When my Brother bought his house the previous owners left a lot of stuff behind. One of those items was a push floor cleaner made by Bissel....it was made of wood. You won't find that today.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane .
