Depression Era Goodies


Most of you know that I have been collection antiques of all shapes and sizes since college.   I brought with me to Mexico a circa 1930 aluminum teaball.   I've had this little gem for about 19 years.   I'm always entranced looking at the dull silver finish and the details that went into this little piece of kitchenware.   I even find the dents that have accumulated over the years interesting.   

Sadly, everything made today is meant to be disposable.   Will we have any such gems to hand down to the youth of today and would they even appreciate them if we did?

Hey, I have one of those too! I didn't realize it was actually old, I just thought it was from Williams Sonoma or something.
