·Just bought one, same thing as 80 years ago.
Old school or old-timer, products you still buy.

This brings me back! I used to get Sky Bars from my uncle who worked at the Necco factory in Revere, Ma.

·I wouldn't be surprised that some of these old school items are now owned by Swatch Group or some other conglomerate.

·I also use a Merkur Futur safety razor, Personna blades (Feather sucks in comparison), and Speick shave cream from Germany.

Yep, Merkur razors are nice. I even have forgotten that safety razors are supposed to be old school as I use one regularly...

I have one of their Bakelite travel razors that everyone else broke because they screwed them down too hard. I should try to sell it for a lot of money. 😁

·ah for the old days when I would use a vintage percolator and Cafe Bustella for my hot, blonde girlfriend....
I tried another percolator of the same brand and vintage but it just wasn't the same. I suspect their thermostats are all slightly different.

·I use one as well - have one for home use and one for travelling. Ironically the cheaper one for travelling that I use far less are the superior of the two.

·Clabber Girl Baking powder and Baking Soda.
I usually use only self rising cornmeal but picked up plain cornmeal by mistake awhile back.
When looking through the brands of baking power I remembered my mom always used this brand.
There is a fascinating history about baking powder and the double acting vs single acting - it turned into a nasty fight between producers. I've not read this book, but it was linked from a youtube video I watched about it not that long ago:
"Baking Powder Wars: The Cutthroat Food Fight that Revolutionized Cooking "
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0719SVTDD/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1
Here's the video, by Adam Ragusea:
He's actually pretty great to watch regularly - very "Alton Brown-esque".

··Home For Wayward WatchesAlong with vintage watches, double-edge razors are apparently just going to be a thread running within this topic thread.
I yet buy old school blades, creams, and soaps, enough to last me until I'm at least 127 ... and that's just so far! The first Gillette double-edge model, A "double-ring" with a serial number dating it to 1904 with period blades. I shave with this razor occasionally, but not with those vintage blades though I'm tempted to try one once.
The best of two decades of Gillette razors, the 1930s and 1940s. Left to right: Only marketed at Christmas 1949, the rhodium plated Executive, the 1940 Regent Tech, and the open comb Aristocrat introduced in 1934 as Gillette's first twist-to-open one-piece razor. The Aristicrat's my favorite "daily driver". Makes one feel like Clark Gable, Gary Cooper, or Humphrey Bogart to shave with it.
Books! Real books on all four walls of a spare bedroom converted into a library. Antiquarian books, not-so-old books, new books, no matter. We'll have 'em all. No Kendle need apply.
Vintage tunes are best. I don't even consider CDs as being old school even if everyone else does.
It's certain that these are vintage.
Tunes are even still squawked out of vintage instruments.
Hey, it's Texas. Old timey rifles, in this case a 19th century Winchester Model 1873 with its obsolete ammunition, in this case .38-40 Winchester (previously known as .38 WCF) on a fun outing at the local club range.
"A splendid time is guaranteed for all."
