An item sold a while back by a New York City-area dealer: a model Sears swimming pool in a case dated to the Sixties. "Made by Monte Displays of Great Neck, NY, likely for marketing in Long Island communities such as Levittown".

On January 15, 1908, Hungarian born US theoretical physicist Edward Teller, often referred to as ‘Father of the hydrogenic bomb‘, was born. Teller made numerous contributions to nuclear and molecular physics, and is considered one of the inspirations for the character Dr. Strangelove in the 1964 Stanley Kubrick movie of the same name.

Some were worse than useless. That blue tin can with perforated holes at the end? That was the filter, which contained a chemical substance known to absorb poisonous gases in one of its earliest consumer uses; asbestos.
