MOST BIZARRE Vintage Inventions

Without the world’s inventors, we wouldn’t have anywhere near the range of time saving, and ingenious products that we’re able to buy. Of course, for every one that sees commercial success, there are plenty that fall at the first hurdle, and you’ll hardly believe some of the ideas that have been patented and marketed over the years. Prepare yourself, as it’s time to take a trip into the past to look at the strange, the surprising, and the downright shocking as we look at 15 bizarre vintage inventions.

Wooden bathing suits? Have you ever watched a modern fashion show? There is a lot more bizarre clothing ideas out there than a wooden bathing suit... like buying expensive jeans that are already worn out.

2:09 "The first sunscreen, as we know them, was developed by an inventor named Franz Greiter in 1946"
Shows portrait of Charles Darwin

FYI, the photo you have for the developer of sunscreen is NOT Franz Greiter. It’s Charles Darwin- big difference.

@ 0:05 and 18:40 Baby cages designed for babies to get sunshine, and play happily outside of the cramped apartment, hanging from a window ledge, high above the traffic and pedestrians directly down below in the city streets.
What could possibly go wrong? 🤔 😬 😂 Now i know the reason why i'm afraid of heights. Thanks Mom! 😂

"Everyone guided by their handheld devices". Who? My smart phone may be capable of smart stuff but to me it's just a phone. I don't go on the internet with it because that's what my computers are for. I neither make nor answer calls while driving and sometimes forget it altogether, leave it on my desk while out working. Why be disrupted by a damn phone while working?

That window baby cage was a good idea! It could be made safe enough. If you trust the mount for your expensive air conditioner, the baby cage would be fine.

#1 - Urban Window Baby Cage … Ultra dangerous!! 🤯

So the freckle proof cape must have been the inspiration for the zodiac killer outfit.?

[birdflipper]

I would love to get my hands on one of the smaller Dynaspheres. It looks like it would be a blast to drive, although going 30 mph in one would certainly go from fun to terrifying if you leaned into a turn a bit to far!

[Hackanhacker]

Didnt though monowheels were that old :P

[michaelmckinnon]

The first practical portable TVs were in the 1970s and 1980s, that said something like the baby cage can be made practical today as can a lot of the inventions on this list

Guess that’s where they get the term “Hope the bottom doesn’t fall out.”
😳

2:32 The dude on the left looks super confident about what's about to happen... 😂

"People who grew facial hair"

Men. The word you're looking for is "men".

[Leopez]

That Dynasphere looks fun, why we don't see those wheels today?

[haraldpettersen]

A man had invented a machine that could shave 10 men at once, his friend came up with the objection: but every face is different. The answer came quickly, only the first time.

[southernpatriot]

🤣🤣🤣Horrible ideas. It blows my mind they made it past the drawing boards.

[alnabulsi]

Shoutout to the movie Casper for introducing us all to a truly horrifying rendition of the shaving machine.

[trendyinsight]

Those wooden swimsuit definitely wood of been so uncomfortable in the sun!
