The rolleiflex camera
The table Grundig radio
The ‘it will kill you if you drop it from a 1 foot height’ black Underwood manual typewriter.

Got the first 2 but the Underwood got stored in a moist location and was returning to the basic elements.

Funny thing when in college I was talking with her on the phone arguing that she hadn’t told me something in a letter. She said ‘just a minute’ and then started reading me the letter. How can you be reading the letter I asked.
She said ‘I keep carbon copies of all my correspondences.’

That shut me right up!
