The family meat saw????? THAT will motivate kids to obey their parents! I recognize almost all of these…and I think some are still the best tool for the job.

  I so agree! I’m not really a gadget person, but the sensible egg whip is probably on the top of my list here.

I absolutely love the biscuit (and cake?) cutters. I’m not sure how I would use mine to cut cake, but I’m impressed by how the design hasn’t changed since the days of yore. Really cool pictures!

  Fantastic! I was thinking the same thing – so many of these items really haven’t changed much at all in design. Thanks for stopping by!
