Things You Don't See Anymore Part 3

Mattel came out with the Thingmaker toy making machine in the 1960s and Creepy Crawlers and Incredible Edibles were the big hit toys. However, they had lots of other kits that used the same equipment.

Mini Dragons.
That just dusted off some n'oft used mental-RAM

Flashback 1974

phew
Thanks!
 
I remember him my Grandfather went and had his car painted when I was young, the day he picked it up he showed it off to everyone. It rain the next day and it bleed paint all over the street like the bathtub scene in Psycho

had a car painted there once in the mid 80's

I forgot to remove one piece of vinyl pinstriping when I was prepping it for them

did they remove it or spray right over it (it was 3 ft long by 3/16"?

awful paint job but it didn't bleed off. then again, it was $99.95 so........
 
For just a $1.99 you could open a portal that could haunt you the rest of your life! wonder who William Fuld really was?
doesn't look like it was very lucky for him in telling the future
Death
William Fuld became a member of the Baltimore General Assembly in 1924. On February 24, 1927, Fuld climbed to the roof of his three-story factory to supervise the installation of a flagpole. When the rail against which he was leaning gave way, Fuld fell to the ground below. While being transported, a fractured rib pierced his heart and William Fuld died at the hospital.

I want to change the subject just a little bit to

THINGS I NEVER THOUGHT I'D SEE AGAIN, BUT DID SEE.

Just a few minutes ago, I stopped in the parking lot that was alongside the local bike trail and I saw a man get on a penny-farthing bicycle and then pedal away on down the trail. He was wearing old fashioned brown trousers and grey tunic along with black leather shoes and an English traditionsl style riding cap.

That was really weird.







Edit to add:


The guy just came back. It's just after sunset now, so he's activated the LED safety flashers on his bike.

This gets close to the original spirit of steampunk, I think.
