I disagree about paper maps. Unlike a GPS or a phone, a paper map's batteries never die. I still keep paper maps for road trips.

Let's not forget the typewriter. Indeed, the 20th Century is the Century of Typewriter. Interestingly, they came into existence with the advent of the 20th Century and left with it.

Sgt Wayne Wood - They had one at good will. 5 bucks. I was going to buy it just as a conversation piece, but I decided it was money better spent on pretty much anything else.

Nice share many of these represent childhood corner stones for me it's strange sometimes how they no longer exist especially the circuit city after school on Fridays my friends and I would roll into town and just hang out and plat games in the circuit city in Honolulu
