School Desk

This was the type of desk I used when I was in elementary school, in the 70's. I haven't been in a classroom in a long time so I don't know if this type of desk is still in use.

Record Holder

My aunt had a record holder similar to this one in her living room. Her's might have been silver in colour.

Record Player

We had an old record player a lot like this one. It was an RCA, I remember the classic picture of a dog sitting next to a gramophone on the inside cover. My parents kept it in the living room as a piece of furniture even though we did not listen to records or the radio very often.....usually only at Christmas. It's featured in a lot of photos, it was one of the best places to get a birthday photo done. That's me on my 2nd birthday.

Lawn Chairs

These were the kind of lawn chairs we had growing up. We had 2 like the first 2, with yellow webbing. The frame was aluminum. My aunt next door had the lounge chair. I always wished we had one as well.

Glass Casters

Another odd thing I remember from my childhood.....not a toy but glass casters that we had under some of our furniture. We also had brown rubber casters.

Step Stool/Chair

We had a chair like this. It was like a chair but with 2 steps that folded in under the chair when not in use. We just called it a stool, I think, and was used often by us kids to get things on high shelves.

Coffee Tables

A catalogue from the 70's. We had coffee tables very similar to those pictured.
