My grandmother got her arm caught in the wringer on her washing machine.

There were no such things as computers when I grew up.

Fountain pens.

We got milk in glass bottles from the cows across the street... (Streets existed, though.)

However, we had electricity, central (oil) heating, airplanes existed, radio, automobiles as well, a refrigerator, though we had to go downtown to the post office to get our mail (box 105).
