As an 80-year-old this was a walk down memory lane! And yes, there's a few of those things I still have. This made for a pleasurable Sunday breakfast accompaniment, thank you.

I was born in London, UK, in the 60's. We had a Kelvinator fridge with a little freezer inside on the top, which you had to defrost every now and then. We also had a Colston dishwasher. These brands were not only found in the USA but also overseas!

That's awesome! The Tappan 400 was built to last—those things were tanks. They really don’t make ’em like they used to!

Wow!! As a wedding gift 50 years ago I received the entire Corning Ware cooking set in Spice of Life pattern from a brother-in-law. Still use them today and they still look like new.

I once lived in an apartment with the combo all in one stovetop, refrigerator, sink. It was compact and worked well for the situation.

The antique refrigerators have curved upper corners, but I like the refrigerators with the refrigerator on the top and freezer on the bottom

Many people still own the Bewitched stove and it is still working. They were the top of the line stove and most people could only dream of owning one.

Wow most of these still look stylish and functional now!

@KimMiskell-j6w 1 year ago

I bet if they brought most of these back .they will sell out fast like the stove icebox

We had the tappin with the pull out drawer and it was fantastic.

There's no excuse to not have every one of these items not being produced now

I still have a black n decker can opener with a knife sharpener and a Faberware 4 cup percolator that was my mom’s from the 70s that she gave me when I moved out on my own..I still use both regularly and they look and function just like they did when I was a child at Moms! You can’t buy a modern appliance today that is made with the quality of the old appliances! I also still have and use numerous Corning baking dishes from that era as well..they look like new and still work fantastic. 💞

I was born in the 1950s and Wow you sure stirred up some wonderful memories! We had most of the dinnerware, Tupperware, Corelle, Pyrex etc. some of it I still use! and that Tappen 400 oven I was so intrigued with as a kid! Wouldn’t it be nice to go back to those days! My parents would be young and healthy, us kids would be outside playing after school and the summers were spent in the neighborhood playing with friends, outside all day by ourselves! One of the best videos of watched on YouTube thank you!
