I recall single sheet toilet paper dispensers in my grandparents home.

One of my favourite channels ❤❤❤

We used to send my little sister up the laundry chute if we forgot our key when we got home from school. (We were early latch key kids.) Our basement was accessible from our garage, which was never locked.

My grandparents had a razor blade slot above their kitchen sink. It always bothered me when I was little. I wondered if there was a tunnel going straight down to the core of the earth.

My Mamaw has a laundry shoot/drop in her upstairs middle bathroom that you could drop the clothes down to the laundry room. I was going to mention this in the comments because I didn't think it would be on the list but I'm glad i waited until the end to post lol

Wow talk about classic i mostly am familiar with features from the 1980s and 1990s era i used to have a old fashion. Paper towel dispenser but can't remember what they called it back in the day likewise with toilet paper as well, My folks also used cast iron radiators at one point as well especially during winter times and had laundry chutes to.

Excellent video!!😊

I remember playing with Merlin. My other 2 favorites were Evel Knievel Motorcycle and Sky Cycle. Had both of them.

What other old bathroom features do you remember? 🛀🚿

Designed to hold a basin and pitcher but beneath there were towels and soap.

My sister's home has a central vacuum system. It must do a good enough job because her home is always very clean.

I always like the steel cabinets My gramma had the same ones for 50 years

We had friends that bought a huge old home in St Louis. We were both ill to see them modernize an early 1900’s kitchen that had built in oak cabinets with some of these features. They then tore out all of the amazing hand carved oak and cherry trim and doors throughout the house. There were 3 fireplace mantles 2 went floor to ceiling. They told us about all of the changes they planned before hand. I said I might be a bad idea as the home was across from a beautiful park, on a tree lined street, and nothing but late 1800’s early 1900’s homes. They lost a great deal of money on their upgrades when they tried to sell the house as “modernized” in a historical area. No one wanted a vintage home outside and modern inside. It was eventually purchased and turned into a student housing unit.

Transom windows are still used but for design appeal, not functionality.

Breakfast nook and dining room, why two eating spacesm bad idea.

Mothers in the kitchen

Super Ball and chemistry sets

how do you eat breakfast today then ?

cool videos! I saw my first manually operated elevator in Chicago. Wow, that was a blast from the past! 2:36 😅

My house was built to mimic the 50s. All my fixtures are custom made.

Had most of these- still have my G.I. Joes and my kids Etch-a Sketch.

I feel like we went from practical, useable fixtures and furniture that served a purpose to sleek designs that just happen to be used for storage. Kitchens are so boring now.

I remember: Milkmen Cigarette/candy girls Rotary telephone operators

I had Creepy Crawlers that heated to 9,000 degrees. I forgot about them .LOL. My favorite was Major Matt Mason battery powered space toys and action figures.

70 years isn't exactly a short time. The floor switch lasted longer than the space shuttle, the vcr, CRTs, just to name a few things.

Loved so many of these. 80s G.I. Joes and M.A.S.K. deserved a mention too!

Growing up in the 1950's in California. Our kitchen had a California Cooler. They could be a floor to ceiling cabinet or a small closet next to the kitchen iteself. This differed from a pantry, as this cabinet had a cutout in the entire floor covered by a wire mesh screen to allow the cool air from under the house to enter and keep the cabinet insides cooler than the rest of the kitchen. This kept can goods cooler in the times before expiration times were printed on foods. Often items were sold and kept in paper bags too. It was not unusual for the temperature to be as much as 20 degrees cooler. When my mom had our kitchen remodeled in the 1960's she included a cooler again with all the new cabinets. Another item found in most kitchens was the set of Kitchen cannisters They were labeled for flour, sugar, coffee, tee etc. These sets were all the same color and style with the same printing style on each. Common to be given as wedding gifts. With the addition of so many modern counter top appliances, these had to go to make space.

Democrats made them all illegal.

I loved Bonanza. I have a Bonanza coloring book from way back then. We all had to guns back then (girls and boys). None of us grew up to shoot anyone. Never thought about it.

I remember there was a machine next to the cigarette machine that had toothbrush and toothpaste and shampoo, etc. and some sort of cheap bathing suit you could buy.

I have the ironing board. My house was built in 1940. I have a long skinny drawer that i keep knives in and now im wondering if its for a rolling pin!

June Foray, besides being the voice of Chatty Cathy, was also the voice of MANY cartoon characters, including Rocky, the Flying Squirrel

Linoleum is great. For kitchen or bathroom. Though tile is better for that. Tile is not good as shown for counters. But ok for floors.

Kitchen nooks are gone? Maybe in those built-in styles, but the last 30 years still demand some giant public kitchen which has big space for the portable table. So it really hasn’t gone away, just not built-in.

I still have and use a VCR. I know a few people who have and use them, too. You can't record anymore but all those video tapes can still be watched and enjoyed.

Always wanted a GI Joe , with 6 brothers. Opt out for the little green army guys . We had hundreds of them , we'd set some epic battles with them .

My house has a milk door and use to have a built in cutting board but a renovation changed that and the door while still there is sealed shut. For good reason. It was so large a child could fit through it.

Thank you Sears Christmas catalogs & payment plans.... Thank you mom for spending the $20-$30 each year for awesome toys that had no tv show or movie tie-ins (except the Star Trek bridge) & that i still wish i had these 60+ years later....

Time Bomb and Sticky Finger.

My favorite toy was my moms meat grinder that she would use to make her own ground beef at home.

Corgi toys as well as Dinky toys sparked my imagination

What is a ‘witches keyhole’?

the vibrating beds in motels were for relaxation? yeah right....

what i liked was the sence of discovery. like with the creepy crawler set. that melted plastic would stick to youre fingers. and the smell of burning skin. but you couldnt tell anyone. cause --then youre folks would take it away. kids were tough in those days.

They don’t clean the rooms anymore if it’s occupied. They only replace towels and take out the trash. Some hotels offer cleaning upon request. Disgusting and lazy on their part.

I hated banquettes. If one person had to get up for anything, we all had to get up to let them out.

my Mom used to carry her own pillows to Howard Johnson's in Hyannis, MA. The hotel pillows were too lumpy and I can remember her leaving a review on a comment card. 55 years later when I travel I carry my memory pillow just like Mom.

great videos, thank you

I rember sun lamps in the barhroom ceiling of some motels as a kid

Van, and they show a pickup.
