I actually had need for one of those a couple of months ago. Fortunately, my wine opener did the job!

Well, shoot! Further back, then, but the game gets easier:

I have a few of them in my drawer. Handy for traveling.

A few washboards?

[marianne237]

Actually, took my old washboard, put in hooks, and hung it in the laundry room to hang scissors, the fly swatter, a shoe horn and other junk on

I clearly remember a day when I went into a K-mart to meet my daughter in the electronics dept. and couldn't believe there were no record albums. Everything was on cassette or c-d.

VCR tapes

Wooden playpens

clock keys

roll down windows & tire chains

hand sickle & push mower.

8 mil. movie camera's

I still have a couple of clock radios! What do people use instead? Cell phone?

Is anybody still sticking with these?

It made a satisfying sound when you pulled up on the lever.

And fun to do when we were kids. I wish we still had some. They make nice, thick ice cubes.

We had one of these when I was growing up, and in the '80s when our kids were young. I sliced the web between thumb and finger, so I guess they weren't all that safe. But so convenient!

A skate key!! That's a good one.

[DigitalGranny]

Wore my skate key on a string around my neck when I was a kid. Before we had bikes, we travelled by skates in the city. Put my skates on each summer morning and took them off only to come inside to eat lunch or go to the bathroom!
