    Kids today would know the bottom image is an "evil" gun, but not that it was a one of the preferred modes of recreation for youngsters where I grew up...along with the first two items. I still have all three and introduced our children to them when they were growing up.

    Same, which reminds me to top off the coal oil before winter storm season. I built the lamp wall holder in high school over 30 years ago.
