I'm old, but older than dirt ?? Not so sure about that !! LOL I do remember the water spinkler for the clothes, BUT my Mom must have had the deluxe version. She had a plastic one with a green spinkler cap on it. I used to wonder why would she hang the clothes on the line in the winter, let them freeze, take them off still wet, spinkle them, roll them into a towel and put them in the refrigerator ??? Then iron them in a few days. Must of had too much time on her hands. The clothes certainly smelled good.

Older than dirt here but like someone else said "the best time of my life". We used a coke bottle for the sprinkler but grandma always drank RC cola.
My dad wore Old Spice most of his life and everytime I see a bottle I have to take a snif it.
