I can honestly say that I remember actually seeing 19 of these. The only one that I haven't is crank gas pumps. Gosh I am only 52?

I can remember 15 of them and I'm 53. How can I be old and you be older than dirt when I'm a year older than you? Or maybe I just can't remember the other five. Oops!

Therapy helps, but screaming obscenities is cheaper.

Yep, they say that as you get older you lose three things
1: You lose your eyesight
2: You lose your hearing
3: Damn, I cant remember that one.
It should be ,If you cant remember any of those things you were born back when the air was clean and sex was dirty.

The 4 track tape had a hole on the tape for a rubber wheel to flip up into to trun the tape. The the 8 track came out the rubber wheel stayed in the unit. The size of the tape stayed the same.

I have used/ remember 12 of those, and I'm only 30! I guess I'm old fashioned, huh? My grandparents are where I saw most of those, I spent my summer with them when I was young. The milkman still delivered until I was 13 or 14, so 17 years ago. I've used a mechanical push mower, poured oil from a can with a spout, drank Dr. Pepper from a pop top bottle, had "pop Guns" with a cork, metal ice cube trays with a handle, been to the drive- in while driving a car with three on the tree. Never washed the car in the creek, although had one that got there by accident! LOL

So, don't feel old. It wasn't "THAT" long ago. :)

I went to the York U.S. 30 reunion this weekend. (Drag Racing Reunion) Man, now those are some "OLD" people. hehehe

Need I say Grumpy Jenkins, or, Jungle Pam. What about Linda Vaughn? Porky Zartman?

RICH

I remember all of them, cept the crank gas pumps......

Now , if we are talking about gas pumps that you would crank the handle to reset the count / amount to ZERO before pumping then that puts me at 20 items.

But, I am hoping you mean actual hand crank pumps that filled the over head container with gas before you allowed the gasoline to run into the tank of the car.

Age? less than 50. not by much though.


FWIW...... our 2000 Impala's ignition key was in the dash.



--
Tony

Tony. That will be the one. the crank that set the numbers back to zero. Even the ones with the glass dome had cranks on them. You would cranks the gas up the glass dome. until it reached 3 gallons then it would syphon into your gas tanks.

Congratulations! You've got a nice car. I right clicked on the red x, clicked on properties, then copied the url address. I went to your site, and clicked on that pic, right clicked on it when it was shown large, copied the url again, then pasted that url in the 'image url' at the bottom of the message. Nice to see the little guys kick butt...

Welcome! I think I've got some pics laying around here somewhere of your show car Camaro from the W.0.W in Baltimore and D.C..... Remember Lou with the "Gold Nugget" Vette that was all but completely covered in 24K Gold plating? He's a buddy of mine from around here in Baltimore.

If you wanna hear a funny story sometime, I've got one about him and the car the day he won the ISCA Championship. The trophy/cash cost 'em a good little bit of change. Like a Re-Do of the car kinda change...
--
Lower Susquehanna Chapter Member of DSRA - DSRA Mid Atlantic Division P.R Associate for Lugnuts 2003 World Tour..Coming to a City near you!

Yeh, I would like to hear that sometime.I can`t remember what year he won the championship.I just toured the eastern div. for 2 years,I didn`t get treated too good in the southeast,they said they had enough show cars there already.lol Oh well I beat them anyway.

We meet a lot of good people in the 10 ye. of touring. I could write a book about our exp. and the people.

Lower Susquehanna Chapter Member of DSRA - DSRA Mid Atlantic Division P.R Associate for Lugnuts 2003 World Tour..Coming to a City near you!

Depends on definition...
could be 19 or could be 16.
Either way I'm in that last category, and the last birthday I celebrated was my 39th birthday!
(That was 16 years ago)
The first possible discrepency is #6 A "soda" or "soft drink" is only called "pop" East of the rockies so I never saw "pop" in a glass bottle, till after thy went pastic.
#15 What's an "iceman"? Is that like a traveling jewelery salesman?
#16 When I was in Nebraska the first time, my brother showed me some cars that people "washed" in the North Platte River... they were still getting washed 30 years later.. Is that what that means?
#17 only the crank that resets to zero


contemplating....
#7 A clean one of them oil spouts would work on juice and clear soup cans wouldn't it? Does V8 juice still come in a can?

#3 Red Wings can be more than shoes....somethng to do with a mustache?

Well I can remember all 20, but I am 60 years old.
I pumped many thousands of gas through those old pumps with the counter zero crank at the filling station next door to my Grandparents home.
We had an ice man every other day because we lived out in the country and rual electrification did not reach us until 1950.
We drew water from a well and had a "Honey House" out back.

Glad we don't live that way today.
What is refered to as POP was is called soda water in this area.

Hey Cruzr,
I don't remember the crank gas pumps
or homemade butter.
I am going to be 59.
I remember getting a chunk of ice from
the iceman then I would pet his horse.
