The Mercury Minnow. A fishing lure originally introduced in the late 40s. It had a ball of mercury in the lure that would move giving it a more erratic action.

I purchased one 30+ years ago, when in my teens, at a small bait and tackle shop in Boulder Junction, Wisconsin.

This is not the one I own, but it looks similar.

Power singers. It seemed like they were everywhere in the 90’s but nowadays everything is all “mood af” or whatever. I love hearing a great singer belt some notes out…oh and when they hit the key change. Doesn’t get much better.

Like Ethel Merman?

Perhaps a 60s Admiral console which could double as a coffin be a welcome on a Saturday morning! This one is a ringer for the one we had.

There's one similar to that ~10 away in the living room. The electronics 'died', so my Dad got an 'all-in-one' and hooked it up to the speakers. Still sounds good.

She may have died in 1984, but her voice lives on in Axl Rose.
