Below is a bed and buggies.
Old radios used by the Ambulance people in years gone past, plus old telephones.
The shearing shed and the stencils that are used for branding.
Below are Ambulances of the past, so many the big shed had a job to hold them all plus they are all different.
Pianos, organs all different from years ago, many models plus speakers below, old radios, tape recorders and the list goes on.
Sewing machines of old plus all kinds of sewing gear.
Old machinery and so many lawn movers from various years, models and designs.
Washing machines below, fridges, never seen so many different washing machines from different eras all in one place.
Old tins, some I remember seeing. If you click on the photos you will see them better.
Below are school desks once used years ago, you can see the inkwell in the middle and I remember the boys used to put our curls into the inkwell if our hair was long enough...yes, I just remember that!
Wow, what a wonderful look at the past. My mother had one of those wringer washing machines when I was a kid.
ReplyDeleteDid she, I had one lent to me from my husband's grandmother till we could afford a new washing machine, it was very old but still worked.
DeleteHello Margaret,
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice post.
Great to see all these old and historical tools. Wonderful.
Warm regards,
Marco
It is interesting to see them Marco.
DeleteYes Yes And Yes Please
ReplyDeleteSomething different from a bygone era.
DeleteWhat a brilliant museum. My first school desks were very similar - and I remember some of those biscuit tins too.
ReplyDeleteMy own first washing machine was a wringer. We got it in exchange for a bottle of cognac and the washing machine lasted a lot longer than the bottle did.
Sure us a great museum, don't if there is another like it in Australia because it has just everything imaginable.
DeleteGood washing machine was the old wringer ones, back in the day when you nearly stayed in the laundry to do your washing till it finished.
Muy curiosa la cama, pero lo que me ha gustado mucho son esos viejos pianos. Es un instrumento que seimpre me ha llamado la atención. me faltó en el momento la decisión de aprenderlo a tocar.
ReplyDeleteOtra cosas , que me parece muy interesante son esos viejos pupitres, que sólo conozco de verlos en películas antiguas.
Besos
Plenty of piano's and organs there. I did learn to play both with exams for many years I studied.
DeleteThe desks are lovely.
Such lovely photos I liked them all, I do like museums
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you would love this museum Jo-Anne.
DeleteMuy buenas imagenes, amiga... Yo, de niño, fui a una escuela igual que esa
ReplyDeleteSame era of schooling then with those desks, bring back good memories.
DeleteIt must be one huge shed to hold that collection.
ReplyDeleteAndrew, there are many sheds and in each shed is a theme.
DeleteThat looks like a nice bed to sleep in when the weather is warm. So many interesting things to see inside the museum. I can imagine the children disturbing the hair of the ones sitting right in front of them in the last picture.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't mind sleeping in that bed myself in the heat.
DeleteOh yes, fun with the inkwells Nancy.
What an amazing bunch of stuff!!
ReplyDeleteIt's walking along and looking and saying, 'I remember that, or so and so had one like that'. So interesting.
DeleteThe museum really has everything and more! It is a bit of a reality check when things in museums were a part of our own lives, where they used to be what grandma had used.
ReplyDeleteSure is a reality check Rosie, but after you get over that in about 5 minutes, you see so many things that you've used in the past, flooding with nice memories.
DeleteVery interesting place!
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is Natalia.
DeleteCertainly different to today's furniture. Was solid and sturdy back then.
ReplyDeleteIt is impressive that they have been able to collect so many items.
ReplyDeleteFor sure, so many things and I should imagine mostly donated.
DeleteIsn’t it funny to think that these were just common, everyday items for people to live with daily not so many years ago and that the things surrounding our lives right now will probably be in a similar museum in a generation or two?!
ReplyDeleteYou are correct, and our grandchildren will be saying the same things as us.
DeleteUnas imagenes de un museo realmente bonito y original, saludos y feliz semana.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteI love places like these, and this one was definitely one I would have enjoyed going to. Thank you for all the great photos Margaret :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Denise.
DeleteVisitando estos museos. Nos hacemos idea de como se vivía Margaret.
ReplyDeleteBuenas fotos.
Un abrazo.
We certainly do find out from these museums how life was way back.
DeleteUn museo con bonitos recuerdos, me ha encantado. Un abrazo Margaret.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed Teresa, and yes memory galore.
DeleteExtremely interesting place! The Past - you've got it all here, and it brings back memories, most of them good ones like the musical stuff, the sewing machines, the fridges.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Everything is so fascinating dear Margaret
ReplyDeleteIoved looking at old stuff here specially piano and school desk :)
Time can change the external shape of things but memories related to them are fresh forever indeed
