Closer to home:
A salting board for chickens
Sugar cubes
When nothing was kosher except for a few staple products
When kids were happier with less
When we were separate and distinct and not so comfortable with non- Jews
When more than a few people (including many women)shed rivers of tears during Yomim Naraim davening and were not focused on how soon davening would end
When divorce was practically unheard of
When no one questioned the authority of Rabbonim
When people were more focused on ehrlichkeit and not frumkeit
