    Duncan YO-YO every kid on the block had one. Remember "Walking the Dog" and "Around the World" and "Rocking the Cradle"

    I'm going to guess its the center spacer for 45's records to play on a record player verses 78's LP records.

    Old things at an auction this weekend at a 144 tear old hardware store that closed. The middle one, even if told what it was, young kids probably still would not understand. Granted, they are all way older than me(46), but I knew what they are for.[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    That is one of the few beers you can take a case of to a party, leave it on a table and virtually NO ONE will touch it. A night of drinking that and you will be able to CHIT thru a screen door @ 10 paces !!!!!!!!.............................................. :rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol:

    I've got a neighbor at the lake that would make sure that beer would never go untouched!

    Can't understand why you just wouldn't pay a little extra for better stuff.

    Don't know if this was posted here yet or not, but remember wind up alarm clocks? Here's a pic of the back of one since we all know what the front of a clock looks like! :rofl: :lol:

    All of my 1st semester wood turning students. Their final exam is to turn a wooden top on the lathe then spin it. Any going longer than a minute is an automatic A+.
