Zone1 If You Can Recognize These Images Then You Are Pretty Much ANCIENT

My grandma had one of these until about 1973.

And no hot running water. Come laundry day, she boiled water on the stove for "HOT" loads.

My grandparents used one of those. Probably back in the 40s and 50s when they were teens and young adults.

Yep. Grandma washed clothes in the kitchen and dried them on a clothesline when the weather permitted.

But have you used a rotary phone like me? I'm not ancient, but an old soul.

I used the pay phone, that was a rotary phone. Before they had the push buttons.

I actually have one of those in my 2015 truck. When I saw it, I almost bought it just for that reason alone. Who care if it ran---it had roll up windows!!!!

First one is a classic square shaped TV. Second one is a hand operated pencil sharpener. Third is the stuff they used in schools to cover books. It's obvious they are school Textbooks. Fourth is a VHS tape. Fifth is a cassette tape. Sixth is 1980s style Coke and Mountain Dew bottle. And finally seventh is the typical paper that schools used when I was in elementary school in the mid to late 2000s.

That last one was handwriting practice sheets.

I not only recognize them all, I've operated or used them all.

Not only a rotary phone, but one the was attached permanently to the kitchen wall. You could only go as far as the curly cord would allow.

But before that there were "candlestick" phones. You had to use both hands, one to hold the base so the mouthpiece came to your mouth, and one to hold the earpiece to your ear

I had my rotary phone to about 2018.

I want that pencil sharpener for my bug-out-bag!

It would make a great spear/arrow point!

I remember back then, you had to buy a separate answering machine. Before they finally installed them in the push-button phones.

I recognize and have used all but one or two of the 35 objects from this link; guess I’m an ancient old dinosaur, LOL - now, excuse me, whilst I retire to my typewriter, 8 track tapes and classic Atari games: If you remember any of these, you just might be ancient….

Hell, youngster. I'm older than "ancient."

Geeez...That was back when Nuck Fury was white!

My grandparents had to wait for an operator before the call went through.

I'm going a little off topic, but I remember Hurricane Katrina from 2005. I saw all those images and videos of New Orleans being underwater.

when I was a kid, we used grocery store paper bags---cut down ---to make the school book covers. There was a 2 cent refund on the stubby coke bottle. I am VERY OLD

I don't know about y'all, I used a rotary phone.

My grandmother had a rotary phone when I was little and my cousins and I would use it to make DJ dance music... lol
Who knows how many calls we made...

 

[Picaro]

I still have a couple of those pencil sharpeners nailed to my workbench.


My first scooter. Got it 1963 and needed a lot of work to keep it running. Never looked nearly as clean as this one does. lol
