Slightly the worse for wear after twenty-five years - and in need of a good polish! - but from the era when Coach bags were made from baseball glove leather and could last for decades.

I believe that my double boiler may be of a slightly newer vintage than this ad, with less of a rounded bottom on the base pan – but still in great shape and still in routine use in my kitchen.
thedabara-cds.livejournal.comHeck, I'm betting that damn near everybody in this community owns a pack of these...
I own it -- Zenith Laptop
Jun. 20th, 2017 12:50 pmchristhawk.livejournal.comI couldn't find an ad for my model -- in fact, I couldn't find any picture online of the one I have. But here's an ad that's close enough:
Mine is circa 1994. Heading off to college in the fall of 2000, I didn't have a computer, so my new roommate offered to give me her old one, which in turn had originally been a salesman's laptop for her father's warehouse. I proceeded to use it pretty heavily my first two years in college (after that, they upgraded and expanded the computer labs, so I could usually find a better open computer there). Considering all that, it's in pretty darn good shape. And it still runs.

Smith-Corona Word Processor

Our office still has one (but it's a PWP-1000 instead of a 2000) quietly gathering dust in a corner. Perhaps one day I'll see if it still works, but I seriously doubt it.
Contest Entry: 1994 Plymouth Voyager
Jan. 9th, 2014 03:39 pmpikkewyntjie.livejournal.comThe VO sounds familiar. Any idea who it might be?
Added "out of business" tag. The Chrysler corporation is still around, but the Plymouth brand was retired in 2001.

I own this: Juice-o-Mat®
Oct. 20th, 2013 11:44 pmfranklanguage.livejournal.com
The Juice-o-Mat was the first product of the Rival Manufacturing Company, which halted its consumer production in wartime so it could manufacture war machines. After the war, they were back with a vengeance, making the Can-o-Mat, Broil-o-Mat, and Ice-o-Mat in addition to the Juice-o-Mat. In the 1970s, they revolutionized the American kitchen with the invention of the Crock-Pot™. (Anyone have one of those to post?)
I own this: Sunbeam® T-9 toaster
Oct. 20th, 2013 12:24 amfranklanguage.livejournal.comCalled the "World's Fair" toaster because it premiered at the 1939 World's Fair, this Deco marvel is sturdy and graceful. Turn the toaster upside down and you'll see that the engraved lines in the side of the toaster form a "T" and a "9"!
The older one of the two I have has a dent in the top and the original cloth cord and Bakelite plug—and still works! (I think I paid $8 for it at a flea market.) The one in the foreground of this picture may have had its cord replaced; it was given to me by my next-door neighbor when he was moving across the country.

barengeist.livejournal.comI picked this Euphona Player Piano up at a garage sale in 2007 from a friend of mine in Newton. Everything had to go before he moved out of his house. I couldn't let this classic pass by. This was manufactured at the height of the piano business in 1925. The crash in 1929 put most piano manufacturers out of business. I scored a huge box of rolls to go with it. I still have to find a sustain (right) pedal that will fit it properly. The player action pump pedals fold up inside the doors you see at the bottom center.
This is before I did any cleanup. The piano had been stored in the garage for about thirty years.
EDIT: the rest of the catalog pages behind the cut:

pikkewyntjie.livejournal.comI inherited a set from my grandmother. As for the ad, I ripped it off from write_light from the Dreamwidth site. :D
"Tom or Dick or Jack"? Meh, they're all pretty much interchangeable anyway.
My grandmother was a tad past being a new bride or young fiancee as her two sons were fighting in the war. I am guessing the set may have been an anniversary present. I don't know if Grandpa got a similar response to that of the gent above. I was born about 20 years later and they were pretty much past that, too, at least from what I could tell.
This my set. Sorry for the crappy pic. My camera isn't very good, but you can tell it needs polishing BADLY! The bronzy looking spoon up in the upper left isn't part of the set. The lid where the knives are has come unglued. A lot of the marketing info is still in it. A card in it says it sold for $69.75.
The table it's on and the buffet and hutch in the background also came from my grandparents.

This is a 1954 ad for the King Zephyr Baritone Saxophone, manufactured by the H.N. White Company. My sax was manufactured in 1956.
I'm the third from the left in this picture; we are baritoneARMY and we're on a mission that will lead us into the wilds of Brooklyn.
