Very true dbutler69 ... I've just watched the original Star Wars Movie a couple of weeks ago.

Salute to you for still having a VHS player.

I'm going to share an item or two a week -- and maybe more.

I don't remember if this has been mentioned in this thread yet or not, but bean back chairs and waterbeds are a couple of 70's pieces of furniture. Then there's the lava lamp, though that's made a big of a comeback.

Water Beds





I slept on a Water Beds for a week at a friend place in Vancouver B.C. about 8 years ago and it's was a strange sensation to sleep in one of these beds. They were quite popular in the 70's and the early 80's and many of my closest friends have them for medical reasons and they need to sleep in one of these beds for their backs and other medical factors.





It was eerie similar to the bed that found in Pink Panther Strikes Again with Peter Sellers and Lesley Anne Down ... here's clip below.





He and his wife both have lower back problems they have slept in a waterbed like the one pictured above and in the video clip and had it for more than 40 years -- having repaired a couple of times and they have their Master Bedroom in the Basement to keep the rest of the house in good order.

According to my Condo Board Association -- I can't have a waterbed because of potential leakage and potential water damage and avoid potential risks of disaster and they often issues reminders to residents -- especially new residents that come to our Condo Complex and I have to explain a new neighbor of mine of the risks involved.

He and his wife tried vainly to have a waterbed in their unit and they lived on ground floor and couldn't have one. She has back issues.

3D Glasses




I used these on several movies in theatres from the 60's to the 80's and I just have a hard time seeing these movies using these glasses.



I was in New York City seeing a friend and went to a theatre there and they had a handful of these types of clip-ons (I was wearing glasses) and they work wonderfully and I regretted not going back to inquire where they got these and I would be glad to pay for one of these clip ons and they are hard to find these days.

Oldest 3D Glasses -- made in the late 30's -- a Couple years before WW2.


My Thoughts -- I just don't see movies in 3D very well -- if I can find a CLIP ON above, but they are fun movies to watch and Disneyland in the 80's had several movies that you can watch on 3D and they were awesome. I've been in both Victoria and Vancouver B.C. on numerous of occasions and they had great 3D movies.

I have (Order of Pictures) seen Creature of the Black Lagoon, Kiss Me Kate,  Toy Story 3 (2010), and Avatar in 2009 -- all in 3D.  The Creature in Vancouver B.C. back in the 80's and Kiss Me Kate in Victoria back in the 90's and those theatres went out of business in the late 90's and I've missed them so much.

1982 Toys





























My nieces and nephews still have all of these toys and when I was at my brother's home the other day -- my grand nieces and grand nephews are playing with these toys that came out in 1982 and loved them very much. I was very surprised that these toys held up so well after all these years.

They got them at Toys R Us and still have the original packaging and all that.
