OK. So I wake up in the middle of the night having dreamed of soft boiled eggs and toast, thinking ... now just HOW does one deftly open a soft boiled egg.?
So this is what I found (among many offerings, I liked this the best.
Egg How To
It even has a picture of opener-thing-a-ma-bobbies (sorry for the earlier mis-spell!)
Toast holders: Saw in some British film a reference to the holder being intended to keep the slices well away from each other so that they can't keep each other warm. Seems to work that way pretty well.
Milk Delivery : Bordons in glass bottles delivered in the wee hours of the morning. Delivered even to apartment buildings. Little metal box rather than a "MILK" door (the apartment doors were metal and not everyone got delivered milk. Had to leave a note the day before if you wanted extra cream or butter or whatever. I think delivery was every two days. Occasional Elsie and Elmer and Beaurigard gifties left for the kiddies.
Candy Stores. Right near the grade school. Kid hating woman, who else ?, was the owner. Scary scary woman.
Little wax bottles with mysterious sweet syrup, wax lips and mustaches, strips of paper with dots that refused to peel off, ohhhhhh yes. Mere pennies and nickles = sweet heaven and the dentists loved it in the days before fluoride.
Why do I suddenly crave soft boiled eggs, toast and root beer barrels ?
