Times change and the things we use change with them. And what until recently was the ultimate dream of most people, today, at best, has a value only as antiques. Although there are exceptions. Some things were done so well that little has changed. But still, most things have undergone dramatic changes or have been completely replaced by modern counterparts. It is all the more interesting to look at them in order to imagine what people wanted to purchase at different times.
1. Only basic functions on the old TV remote control.
2. Manual clippers from the early 19th century. You had to be very patient to use these.
3. Now people collect old shaving kits, and some people still use them!
