What Does It Do?​

This one’s a real throwback! Sleek design, a cord ready to plug in, and that classic retro look that once made it the pride of many homes. It might not look like much today, but back then, this little gadget had a special purpose that made daily life just a bit brighter. Any idea what it was used for? We're all about the stories here! What's a recent find that instantly transported you back to the past?

Make up mirror, I still have one

Sure do remember it. When I was turning 16, my father DEMANDED that my brother buy this for me..which he did...but not happily ! A mirror to help you to put on your make-up in a better way.

It is a make up mirror. The lights highlighted your image and magnified your image. My mom had hers forever!
I recently found an old box of bandaids. It brought me back to mind a blast from the past. Do you remember the bandaids that had a red string on one edge? You needed to pull the string in order to open the still sterilized bandaid. Some days it would be a little challenging to pull it just right.
