I had a coffee percolator from a garage sale. It worked for me for many years. That was until the stem broke off. I had no luck finding a new pot like that one, so I broke down and bought a new one. It never made coffee as good tasting as that old pot.

Coffee percolators are still made and sold. Just go to the camping section of a sporting goods store! BTW they make great coffee if you use the right amount of coffee in it. Some stores still sell bean coffee that you grind at the store, or you can buy a very inexpensive grinder and do it yourself.

The mystery item is for doing pinstripe without a brush the bottle holds the paint the eyelet is the guide to follow a crayon line that gets removed when the paint is dry.

I dated myself when I recognized the ice scraper and used it when I was young to scrape the ice out of our chest freezer.

Someone doesn't know what a percolater is? Wow, do I feel old!

It's sad that folks don't recognize a stove-top percolator these days. It's really not that different from today's coffeemakers; the principle is the same. By the way, it's not a bad way to make coffee. Before the percolator was invented, you boiled the grounds in the water, pure and simple. If you weren't careful when drinking it you'd get a mouthful of coffee grounds.

Way to make me feel old! Imagine anyone not recognizing that coffee percolator! LOL!!

Last items are paint stripers

Percolators make wonderful coffee.

the last one is a automotive pin stripe tool

The percolator may have not made great coffee. But according to my uncles it did make infinity coffee . At the first of the week my grandma would make the coffee then she would keep it warm on the back of the old woodburning stove just kept adding water to the pot and a occasional spoonful of coffee. My mom's family lived on a small farm during the Great Depression.

👁👁 Stop it who doesn’t know a percolator… gotta be Fake ….🥳

With respect to the percolator pot to make coffee, it is exactly the same way the coffee is made today the appliance appears differently, but works the same and yes, we do use paper filters usually.

♥♥♥♥

Last item is a pinstriper. Paint goes in the glass bottle, turned upside down, flows onto the wheel, pulled across whatever gets pinstriped. The wire is an adjustable guide. I have a set.

percolated coffee isn't bad - it only requires coarsely ground coffee beans - which are now difficult to come by. If you want baaaad coffee - you should try US Army coffee brewed in 30 gallon trash can using a submersible kerosene heater... just a little perspective ;)

OMG! I am so old. Someone doesn’t know what a percolator is! The narrator doesn’t know what he’s talking about. It was wonderful coffee.

I make my coffee every morning with this very coffee pot , it never will break

I knew the stovetop percolator right away! That's how everyone we knew made their coffee. Some did get fancy and started putting a flat circle filter in before putting in the coffee grounds, but that was considered "extra". 🤭 Then, those that had gardens & compost piles, would take their eggshells and coffee grounds from breakfast out back to throw out there.

i think the last item is for pin stripping automobiles.

It is a paint striper

Everyone had a Coffee Percolator in the 50s/60s. My Mum went all posh then and got an electric one - Happy Days 🙂

the surgical steamer was NOT a U.S. item, It was made in Munich Germany in 1940's so was used by the German army

In my opinion perk coffee was the best !

Well I didn't know any of these! But I'll keep trying!

Thank you for telling us about these interesting things:)

the first item is a machinist jack. used to support items held in a mill vice to prevent movement of the work piece during machining.

Always a pleasure

Not called Stevenson screen but the whole thing is actually called a Stevenson box, screen is term used when it's on a building.

Last one could be a potato baker

The razor was not rocket science. Obvious.

I worked in a granite quarry and the "load choker" is what we called chain dogs. It was used to span a block of stone and the ears of the dogs would set in a small dimple we drilled in the ends of the stone. Barely a ¼" of steel on each side would hold several tons of stone

I liked the old ice equipment. I was born and raised in north Pennsylvania. There is a lot of old ice dams up there. Also alot of freaky "ice tools". The blocks were put on trains for America! ❤

2:37 This is not a variometer made by Northern Electric, rather it is a 1920's AM crystal radio which is tuned by the variometer. It is missing the shaft and "cat's whisker" that would have run trough the little metal ball, this would be used with the galena crystal to form a detector. The terminals are used to connect to Antenna, Ground, and a set of Headphones.

5:02 It's a pastry trimmer for the top of pies. The curved blade trims off the excess pastry and the wheel creates a pattern that seals the top pastry to the side/bottom pastry.

1st item Friend or Foe clicker. Last item was a tap grenade without the grenade...

Not a dovetail - a box joint.

You sure find a lot of items a the thrift store and your relatives have a huge amount of curios

I guessed the wire bender.

I think that last item was Ruhmkoorff coil:)

Thank you for this videos it was actually cool!

It was really interesting, thank you!

I don’t know the date of the video, but you ended with three roller skate wheels garry bennett

Credit check 1950ties

I always enjoy these!

Thats not a British barrage balloon, its to big, the army personnel are American and the british barrage balloon was mounted on a small trailer. In America barrage balloons, I believe were used around the Great Lakes.

Final item is an anal pleasure stick...nuff said.

Thanks to an episode of 'Time Team', I was able to recognize the barrage balloon. It's funny how much one can learn from unexpected sources.

The Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote loved the Acme brand things, such as the 470 Clacker.

The last item looks like a needlecase my grandmother gave me.
