Your picture have address: http://home.rica.net/toolman/Image85.gif When I go to: http://home.rica.net/toolman/ ... I can see that: "Figure AM15f shows an ice pick with a very unusual ice tongs attachment to the handle. The bent/twisted wire tongs are serrated on the inside surface to aid in gripping the chips of ice produced by the pick. The brass plate on the tongs is marked WIS LAKES ICE & CARTAGE CO" Â - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :) Â |

An incinerator? No (nothing is destroyed/annihilated inside, the objects you put in it are very useful when you get them back) Â - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :) Â |

Something related to Coffee? No (but it is used only in relation to two type/kind of objects (one of them much often than the other)) Â - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :) Â |

A wine cooler? No (As in old child game (search and find) I will say 'too cold, you have to search in the opposite direction') Â - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :) Â |

portable oven Yes! But for what? (usually it was 'portable' only between kitchen and balcony, we (at my home) used it only on balcony during autumn) Copy from some site/translate by Google/Edit+additions by me: " <this 'thing'> is the most significant 'way/style of living' gain, which changed the lives of Bulgarians in the twentieth century. This was decided by Television viewers in the state media campaign "The Bulgarian events of the twentieth century." <this 'thing'> received 25.51 percent of the vote to electricity (16.77%), and television and radio with 13.44%. Other events nominated in the category "Revolutions in households' were: * car (was hard to buy a car, you have to wait in queue for 5-10 years depending on brand (wait 5 years for Å koda or 10 years for Lada)), * recreation on Black sea beach, * residence in Sofia (the capital, to live/reside in Sofia for more than a month was restricted before 1990 (only born-in-Sofia and students were permitted, some workers in heavy industry were permitted to stay 'forever' in Sofia only if they work for 10 years)), * glazed balcony (which can this way be used as kitchen even during winter), * Decree 56 (socialist law (~1985) permitting small family business (communist party ruled for 45 years before the end of 1989)), * and the mobile phone.

Old tumble dryer? No (It is not designed to dry anything, temperature inside is (maybe) >300°C (glows red when opened during use))  - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :)  |

A kettle (on gas) to keep your food warm? No (do not use gas, do not use water, not used "to keep your food warm") Â - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :) Â |

Bread and Pizza? No (no wheat/flour involved (but it is for food, mind: "we (at my home) used it only on balcony (and only) during autumn")) Â - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :) Â |

Something to do with herbs? No (it is to make some kind of food for winter (the so prepared food was not available (in these years, in 'cooked' condition) in stores/shops and even if it is available now it is more cheap to make it at home during autumn than to buy it ready-to-eat from shops in winter)) Â - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :) Â |
