- edit - OK...I had a pic here of a White Front store which has now vanished. Dunno, unless the site that I found it on traced it back here and pulled it.

Egg cuber

We had one of those, but it was branded & packaged differently- my father, who was a flight engineer for a charter airline, brought it back from Japan

Red Barn?

Oh man, I actually remember these from the brief period I lived in Dunkirk NY, just off Lake Erie, I was but a tike of 5 or 6, but I do remember that very well. Yum!

Wow...I do remember Red Barn here in SE VA.
I thought it was either a crafts store or a furniture store...

HAHA! My younger brother had all of them. Power tools for styrofoam!

I remember those...I kinda wanted them and my dad (an amateur cabinet-maker with a semi-serious shop setup in the garage) started teaching me to use the real thing(s).

Real service stations that pumped your gas, checked your oil, etc...

 

[Rbryant]

^^I wish they would bring back the full service. I'd proly give them license to charge over $5 a gallon though.

You may not see DIY glass blowing kits these days, but the art of glass blowing is still pretty huge.

"Yeah, but can you smoke out of it?"

Check out this doc: "Degenerate Art: The Art and Culture of Glass Pipes"

 

[My name is Mudd]

Some years ago, San Francisco's Museum of Modern Art had an exhibit of glass pipes...some people had no idea what they were looking at, aside from blown glass objects.
