The oil filter on the top shelf is used but I had to keep it. It was on the silver mustang when I bought it. It is a Montgomery Wards filter lol. Car had been sitting some 20 years.

Some people trim down (get rid of their stuff) as they get old. Not me I am bulking up lol. These kids will earn every cent. Would love to see their faces when they have to deal with all my junk!
That's fine if they know the real value of the "stuff" or intend to keep and use it. If they don't know the value of the "stuff" and sell it you could be making a pot of gold for some stranger.

Yep and I will be too dead to care lol. Might be someone's lucky day. To quote a favorite comedian of mine "Well I don't know where I will be in 100 years. But I'll bet I wont smell very good"

Yep he fits right in this post. Reminds me of a friend (car guy of coarse) He gets up set if I refer to my things as junk. He said If it were junk you would throw it out, it's STUFF lol.

My youngest fell over my tow chains that I towed the Bee to drags in middle 70's. Put his nose right in to the open top. Blood everywhere, he ripped off the velcro straps that were holding him down in the ER. 2-3yrs old at the time,he doesn't remember a thing, but I do.

Dayton was a test market for a lot of stuff.
Some went main stream, some didn't.
(I wonder who pics test market cities)
We got modern can tops in the early 70's, but I remember pull tabs.
I remember visiting my Aunt in FL in '76 and they still had pull tabs.

very guilty
I remember that storm! I grew up where the red spots are in the second map. The school bus would flash by the end of the driveway. The snow banks were so high you couldn't see it till it did. I was 9 years old.
