As a 73-year-old, I'd like to know where the old stuff was in this quiz?

[svennoren]

Not only did I recognize these items, I've actually used most of them!

[habeuscorpus]

I'm 83, and I remember when some of these things were state of the art.

It wasn't called a rotary phone. It was called a telephone. Nobody called them rotary phones until the push button phone had become commonplace and the old style telephone had become rare.

I was born in 1957, I aced this! I'm so Old I remember us kids being the remote control! 😀

I'm still waiting for someone to show a metal ice tray with a arm to loosen the ice.

Your "portable cassette player" is actually called a Walkman. I never heard anyone refer to it as a "portable cassette player".

I still have my grandmother's Singer sewing machine, operated with a treadle instead of electricity. It still works just fine.
I live off grid, so I have lanterns, a washboard, a coffee grinder, a wringer, a clothesline and clothespins, a bellows to help the fire catch in the woodstove, a toaster that's meant to be used on the hearth of the fireplace, the manual typewriter I used in high school (still works. Hard to find ribbons for it, though.)

Born in 1958 some of these didn't seem old at all to me😁

[paulveenings]

I not only know what all of these items are, I still use a lot of them . 😂

[fjtalleyauthor]

The real question is: how many of us had--or still have--these items in our homes?

And so odd--to me--that typewriters, staplers, fax machines and kaleidoscopes made this "vintage" list.

[Venusx]

The shocking thing is I've actually used almost all of these in my lifetime!

I worked with computers beginning in 1974 and the first item you pictured was called a diskette. A floppy disk was about 4 inches square and was made from a very thin plastic material housed in a sleeve also manufactured from a very thin plastic and the assembly of the two was very flexible, hence the moniker floppy! There were also 8 inch floppy disks used in centralized computers back then.

Know them all. But I'm so old I can remember when the Dead Sea just had a bad cough.

That “portable cassette player” was always called a WALKMAN. The old “remote control” was called a CLICKER bc you had to click the buttons and they actually made a noise.

[gregshonle]

I think the 8-track player was really a full-on receiver, that had a built-in 8-track player. I see a tuning dial, volume & balance controls, and an input selector, in addition to the 8-track mechanism. The toaster was WAY older than any I ever saw...

The "transistor radio" looked more like a table top tube radio.
Transistor radios were quite small.

Born in the 60s and I got 29 out of 30. The only one I wasn’t sure about is the toaster, because it looks so very different from the manual toasters I have used. That sewing machine is not a treadle or foot powered one– it has a hand crank on the right. It’s manual and I have a used one like it several times; it was in use before the year 1880.

I was blessed to spend many days with the older members of my family growing up. Most of them lived on farms, and I even knew my grandmother‘s grandmother. Every time I stayed overnight at my great-grandmothers house I slept in a feather bed with a rope grid underneath, instead of a box springs or modern mattress. I definitely sank down in the middle of that bed! Sometimes in winter we warmed up beds with a hot water bottle, hot rocks or a heated brick wrapped in a towel. Everything in this list besides the toaster was easy- ours were just a different style.

[diane]

I got most of them correct. I had a problem with the TV remote, but otherwise I was good. Im 70, so I knew them. The laundry mangle I knew as a "wringer". I worked in an industrial laundry in the mid 1970's, and we called the presses that ironed out sheets and towels, etc as manglers. We had others that pressed uniforms. I worked with a towel folder in the second industrial laundry I worked in.

[midnittkr]

That bed warmer sure looked like a popcorn popper
