Had them all Wulffy. No idea how many thousands of caps I "shot" at the bad guys or in the commission of some dastardly deed.

We called ours hassock, though, not an ottoman.

Maybe it's a regional thing, we called ours hassocks too.

A few more oldies 😂
Let me know if anyone knows what the last one is, and has anyone ever used a light like the last one in the picture of the lights?

#1 had and used one when I was a kid.
#2 Grandpa smoked a lot of it. Might still have one of the old tins.
#3 dad had one of the drills - I don't know what happened to it. I still have a sickle. I don't remember having ice tongs but my wife does.

I recall some of them. Without electricity or running water some of them didn't exist at our house.
My brother and I used Prince Albert or Velvet cans to carry grasshoppers in for fishing. We could tell they were still alive by the clicking sound. One had to be careful when getting one out so others didn't escape.

As an aside to the button wheeler; a few years ago I went to rehab for a shoulder injury. The tech handed me a disc about the size of a large Frisbee. with 2 small ropes threaded through it and handles on each end. As he was about to give me directions I broke out laughing and started making the disc sing. He asked how I knew what to do and I explained about the button and string I used 60+ years ago.

This reminds me of another one we made. An old empty wooden spool of thread was converted into a motorized wheel. a couple of match sticks, one broken off, some soap or wax and a rubber band made this up.
