Interesting, thank you Danemodsandy! Most people's I saw looked fairly good (and I do remember Glo-Coat!) but I think I've seen a few of those problematic ones of which you speak, in bathrooms as you mention...

Jason, that's so funny: when I looked at that particular kitchen when I found this on MSN, I remembered your interest in 70s decor and thought of you!

Very nice machines!

I don't know that I've ever had this frosting. I'm sure going to try it next time I make a cake! Terry, for yours should it be 2 sticks of butter?

Kelly, that is one beautiful cake, and some interesting cake pans you have there! There is a discussion thread going on right now at a cooking forum I read and post to about this cake, but no one had posted a recipe. It sounds just heavenly. I'll make it some time for company and take out one of...

Veg, is the trivet under your perc part of the set, or an ensemble of your own creation? I have an older electric Corning that has a sort of black plastic disc that serves as the trivet. Danemodsandy, I have two of the newer Farberwares. They work well and so far have held up well. A few subtle...

Those old metal box fans are a "hot" commodity on Ebay, that's for sure, and I can see why. I'm actually ok with the little narrow box fans because they sit on my narrow bedroom window ledge, but that's all I use it for. I have one similar to the Patton on a swivel stand for the living room...

Thanks Blackstone, thought that might be the case, but wasn't sure.

May Mart-From Mall Hall of Fame Sounds like maybe it was something they did or tried inside their actual stores. This is the only reference I've ever seen to it, so then again, maybe it was only tried once: May Company located its 12th Los Angeles store at WHITTIER QUAD. It opened August 2...

Blackstone, do you think this one is identical under the hood as the older ones with the controls on front? I wonder, given the more variety in contols, if it uses that unconventional style of timer the older ones did, or the more typical automatic washer timer.

Thank you LeBron. http://www.automaticwasher.org/TD/THREADS/VINTAGE/2009/23464.htm?6

Oh dear...

Jeff, they had some cool looking buildings, which I saw on the site. I think the range closest in the pic and the one the mother and daughter are looking at are either a Roper or Caloric. I think they were the two that most often positioned their burner controls like that. I know this because I...

Remembering Zayre Zayre was kind of a dive compared to Target even back then when the Targets weren't nearly as upscale and nice as they are now. Still, it was a fun store for a kid and probably a good place to get things like cleaning products, health and beauty aids, certain hard goods, small...

That's interesting about the duality accounts, I never knew about those! I love saying "Bank Americard" and MasterCharge" to younger friends and the blank look it elicits, LOL. I was a "proof operator" and sometimes a microfilmer from 1979 to 1985. After a while, the sorter somehow microfiled...

"Super Centers"-everything old is new BTW the early incarnations of Target and Zayre had in-house, full service supermarkets under the same roof, lest anyone think that is a new idea that's come about in the last 10 years. One critical difference is they were self-contained, unionized stores...

The Target in the picture is the original one in Roseville, Minnesota, which opened in 1962. A Target still exists on the site, but unfortunately the original was torn down a few years back and replaced with a new one. The replacement is a very nice, much larger store, but I'm kind of bummed...

This is the first time (at least I) have seen this particular Blackstone POD. Very handsome set indeed! What I'm wondering is: do they operate identically to the earlier units with the controls on front, and, given the speed control and multiple cycles, does it use a more conventional type of...

Fred, as Robert knows, I absolutely love these percolators. I have several, including one that has never been used with the original paper inserts. They make wonderful coffee. I'd been familiar with the style all through my growing up years, but did not know until the earlier part of this decade...

Great observation ALR! I saw the picture and it hadn't hit me over the head that that was the "SS"!
