Also do any car manufacturers fit manual window winders to cars even on the cheaper models ? Love to know if they do..
When I was a kid my favourite ice cream was a Peters Two in One . Geez I loved them .. Can't remember when I last saw them for sale .
Wind up alarm clocks .. They might still be sold as a novelty perhaps but I guess phones have seriously curtailed them..
Re Maxell batteries I do remember them and maybe they still do watch batteries but in general use I also can't recall seeing them on the supermarket battery displays for a while . I tried Camelion ...waste of money and even the alkaline ones aren't that great for a throw away battery.. Gone back to Ever Ready for that purpose but now also use a lot more rechargeable AA's and AAA's..
Fun thread...Expecting heaps of replies ..

Try find a carburettor shop or business, all the well known ones in Melbourne are long gone.
