    Got all of them, but being 73 years old, some wers still in use when I was a child. My mother had one of those washing machines! I've never seen one quite like it, but I would say the mystery item is a peeler of some kind. Potatoes? Apples?

      @@jemma50. I guess it depends where people were raised. My grandparents lived a rural, almost subsistence, life. They didn't have electricity until about 1961-62, and then only downstairs until 1969. They didn't have an indoor toilet until 1969 either. I can remember my grandmother using one of those coal irons. They used Tilly lamps and Kelly lamps upstairs for lighting. They grew and raised everything they ate, and sold the surplus meat, veg, fruit and honey. They had open fires and my grandmother's oven was built into the chimney above fireplace in the kitchen. Washing was done in a huge copper with a fire under it, in its own shed in the yard. The next building along that path was the outhouse. The washing machine like the one in the video that my mother had was powered by gas!! That was considered quite innovative at the time. This was in the UK by the way.

      My mom still used her mother's old Maytag washing machine when I was a kid. Though she'd swapped out the gas engine for an electric motor. I remember the gas engine when I was a kid. But some little spoiled brat (certainly not me, nope, I wasn't there and anyway nobody saw me) took it apart and lost half the parts. From the washer to the first rinse water tub via the wringer, swish the clothes around with a paddle for a bit, then swing the wringer 90 degrees and run the clothes through it again into the second rinse tub. Then through the wringer again into a laundry basket and onto the clothes line to dry. Doing laundry doesn't necessarily take less time today, but you can do other things most of the time instead of having to babysit the whole process. I'd give a lot to be able to help mom with the laundry again :)

    Got them all except the ox yoke and the crystal radio receiver. I actually own some of these items, including the folding 'Opera Glasses' that were misidentified as 'binoculars'. I'm 63, so some were before my time, but some were of my grandparent's vintage.

    I used one of those can openers at my grandmothers in the 1980's as she still used it. Then I had one of those washing machines, a wringer washer, after I married in 1984, as we had no money and it was dirt cheap! But we celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary this summer and I'm so glad to have a modern washing machine and can opener!

    Named them all. And all of them except for the aviator's helmet I either own or my parents owned and I've been familiar with them for decades. Mom had almost that exact apple peeler. It didn't work worth beans, though it was pretty old and worn, having been used quite bit by her mother. And that "slide projector" could show slides but it was more commonly used to show filmstrips and was commonly called a filmstrip projector. Boy that takes me back to grade school and the 60's. A 16mm movie was the big treat but a filmstrip was pretty exciting too. I'm feeling old now, I'm going to go have a Geritol soda and go yell at some kids to get off my lawn ;)

We'd get out the old Maytag wringer washing machine, and the two wash tubs for rinsing.

    On one of our trips to D.C. (I’m from there, my wife is a west coast girl) I took her to the Hirshhorn Museum at the Smithsonian, and we were walking thru the sculpture garden. One of the sculptures is a gigantic correction ribbon, and the piece is called (wait for it…) “Correction Ribbon” (why this is art I have no idea). There was a woman walking with her daughter…the girl read the plaque, looked up, and asked, “Mommy, what’s a typewriter?”. A friend of mine’s granddaughter (8? 9?) saw a telephone for the first time and was asking her parents what it was. They were explaining how it worked…the girl thought about that for a moment, then, when she understood, she nodded and said “it’s remoteless”. Damn we’re old.

    curious if the object is displayed correctly, reason is if it's an apple peeler all the peels would fall into the device's wheels which doesn't seem practical. so should the device be turned sideways? but maybe does something that doesn't create waste? Like twisting wire for barbed wire?
