Interesting. We are seeing more and more museums that display items that were common in my childhood and young adulthood. I guess that means I'm getting older.
A very interesting display, it was much worse here at the time.
I imagine 19cents a gallon gasoline was thought to be pricey back then! Enjoyed the photos, Lois!
Yes, VP, I know it was much worse there in Italy during WWII. You and the rest of Europe suffered terribly.
Thank you, everyone, for stopping by and for your comments.
All the best,
Lois
Very interesting and I appreciate you sharing the pictures from your visit. Wishing you a nice weekend!
i do believe anyone who has gone without (whether thru war-time rationing or poverty) keeps that mentality the rest of their lives... not a bad thing to avoid waste. :)
Very interesting! My how times have changed...
Very interesting shots Lois! We had a phone like that too. I remember my father talking about having a refrigerator that ran on kerosene. I also still have some of my grandfather's gas rationing stamps!
I think we could be traveling companions...I so love going to places that have rooms set up from a certain era...I don't know why they appeal to me so much they do. When I see them, I just want to step back in time...if only for a bit.
My Gramma's kitchen looked JUST like the one pictures here!!! Like the gas prices!! ...debbie
Not all that long ago, but life was very different. I do enjoy going to museums like this one.
Yes, I do remember those phones! I often wonder if you gave a dial phone to a young child and asked him how to use it, what response you would get!!! I think my dad was the very last person to have a dial phone. He never liked new technology!!!
Lois, we listen to the 40s music on Sirius internet radio, and looking at this post and photos made the time period more vivid.
Beautiful images Lois- we would love a visit to this museum-
Vicki
