Some random tech items from my collection: A (British) 1920's candle-stick phone count? With a rotary dial, still works just fine. An Edison phonograph - missing its original horn (I have a homemade replacement), plays wax cylinders just great. A brass carriage lamp (streching things a bit), and an oil based motorcycle lamp. A 1960's Teas Maid, in full working condition. I'm sure I've overlooked various items, but those are the most interesting pre-1980's items I own.
