Re: Got an old brain? I need to pick it!!!!
Although it would be more at home in a 1930's parts store, I stumbled on to this in one of my parts purchases 3 years ago.

I remember those, used them for awhile but I think they are way post-30s.

Mitch, I don't remember any of it either. Likely because I was not born until 1970. Rod

Re: Got an old brain? I need to pick it!!!!
My memory of long long ago is spot on but ask about yesterday or even last week and I'll be 96.6% with no idea and actually, I prefer it that way for so many reasons. I'll bet you a pound to a penny, many here feel the same way.

Found one and have acquired it. Still looking for a proper receipt book.

Re: Got an old brain? I need to pick it!!!!
I was raised in a small resort town on Lake Michigan. In the late 40's and through the 50's in the Sinclair gas station, was a key that had been cut in half and each piece was welded to the end of a long welding rod. when someone would inquire about it, the owner took great pride in telling them that you stick it up an elephant's --- to unlock it's trunk.

Re: Got an old brain? I need to pick it!!!!
We used to change fan belts and wiper blades right at the gas pump and, if you had 10 minutes, we'd move your car aside, change the upper or lower radiator hoses, and fill the radiator back up with fresh anti-freeze or water. We were highly skilled at draining a hot radiator without getting burned.
