What is something you remember

Irons made of iron that you heated on the wood stove, and used with a wood handle that clicked on to use one while the rest of them re-heated.

Starching the laundry with Faultless starch.
 

We always had one of these to sprinkle the clothes with prior to ironing.

Lincoln logs, paint-by-number, 'party' lines for telephones, home 'perms' (yuck, what a smell), mascara in a little red box with a teeny brush,
and last but not least; a big roof mounted rotary tv antenna that had to be turned to the southwest if you wanted to watch a program coming from Chicago !!!
 
Remember the old gas station pumps? Some of them made a ding-ding noise while the gas pumped and some of them had a multicolored ball that spun around while the gas pumped.

And the service station attendant pumped the gas, washed the windshield and sometimes checked the oil gauge and radiator water under the hood.

Some of my favorites already spoken for. Maybe a crank to start your car. I like the film cases
but my favorite, I think, was the slide rule, mainly because I used so often on one of my jobs
and used one another to double check the calculator( which was unnecessary ).
