Ah, the good old contact breaker set, where you got to play with your feeler gauges.  :y  And then a company called Sparkrite came along and took all the fun out of it.  ;D

I have a big old penny somewhere, along with a lot of other old currency coins, but sadly it's not the year that's worth a lot of money.  :'(

Clothes racks that dangle from the ceiling, with a set of pulleys that would fox a mountaineer.
