Results: This is part 2 of "Kitchen nostalgia and obsolescence". A change of colour can render something obsolete. While we wait for a revival some are in our garage or elsewhere. Here are some of them.

After years of waiting for a return of harvest gold or avocado, technology has probably advanced too far to bring some of these out of retirement. Is there still a demand for any of these old gems?

I never did trust this can opener. There was a magnet that was supposed to allow you to be hands free. A small magnet. I didn't use the knife sharpener either. Did you ever use one of these as your main can opener? I preferred the dollar store hand crank type.

This thing looks like it was a high school shop project and was in the kitchen when we moved in. It was meant for the phone and the phone book but those have now gone and we disguise it with a potted plant. I would remove it but it might be holding the wall together. If you have repurposed yours, please tell us more. Do you still have one of these?

Before Orville Redenbacher and his microwave genius there was one of these popcorn makers that also was a staple in offices on a Friday afternoon. I still remember the smell of burnt kernels and the melted plastic lid. Those things sure ran hot. Did you ever have one?

This beat up item made the best coffee when camping even if quite a few grounds managed to make it through the" filter." The coffee was so good, we made coffee on the stove in the middle of winter and the house would be filled with that aroma that a drip coffee maker can't replicate. This was hidden away when company came over. Do you still have one of these?
