Things You Don't See Anymore Part 3

[Pug the Pig]

Working on the same principle, you don't see these in use nowadays, ( you can still buy em i think)..they're great actually, I've got an old one of the larger size and use it still, I guess the cordless drill/screwdriver thing killed these....but you won't run out of battery with a Stanley Yankee!

More hand operated stuff I still use...

Nice.

Here's the hand churn I use to make the butter for all the people of my village.

 

[Pug the Pig]

Dude that's a thing to wash old clothes in, (tho sock flavoured butter may be an Azerbaijan thing...)

 

[Pug the Pig]

These are my total favorite for making coffins.....

 

[Pug the Pig]

And you'd be surprised how much loose change dead people keep in their pockets....

 

[Son of Wobble]

Made this myself. It works, I tested it.

 

[Pug the Pig]

That's brilliant! And towing it round with a quad bike thing too, top class.....do you do the local execution circuit then..?

You could consider extending your business to the s!ightly less extreme punishments too, if the executions are a bit slow, in the summer for example....

Oh, so you have one of the new fangled butter churns.

 

[Pug the Pig]

Mr Wobble's great-granny using the same equipment doing the traditional butter churning with added sock flavour, this daguerreotype was taken just before the Cossacks arrived and burned the village down, luckily she escaped....

Haven't seen these for many years, but aparently you can still buy them ...View attachment 2983600

LOL! The greatest artist in the world couldn't draw that on an etchasketch . I'm supposed to believe that kid did?

I used to think my parents were cheap.

I now realize I had pretty much every toy that was ever produced between 1960 and 1979 . This thread is an awesome trip down memory lane for me.

Did anyone have this? You can still buy them, but I got mine through an Archie comic ad in the late 60s. I loved this thing for some very strange reason I'm still not aware of.

There's always people out there that can do amazing stuff with a fairly restricted pallette!
I always thought these things were horrible...

[Pug the Pig]

Don't like to speculate what some of these Danish people were taking in the 70s...

This one looks like he'll stick you with that shank if you don't give him that 100 Krone...
