That happened to me. When my "Pain Management" doctors office closed, they were boxing up files left and right. I demanded mine and they said "no, they're going into storage"...THIS is probably what they meant. In a box to sit for decades and rot. Needless to say after some screaming, yelling and threatening, I got my files but I felt bad for all the older people whose lives were going to end up in a box somewhere. Very sad (but definitely interesting)

Looks like the dial on my toaster!! I must say, I just recently discovered this site last week and haven't been able to tear myself away. Each chance I get, i look through and am in awe of the photographs. I would LOVE to do this, it's like a dream of mine. Keep up the good work.

People should let sleeping coffins lie -

anyone ever see "The Changling"? This looks like their promotional poster! COOL

looks like the last thing you'd see before sitting in the electric chair

It's a Hamilton Beach malted milk shake maker knocked over on it's side!!

Those tubes near the ceiling remind me of the pheumatic tube system we had at an old department store I worked at as a kid. You'd put money and the receipt in a "transporter", flip open the end cover and put it in the tube to be sucked up to the third floor cashier department. Cool technology, too bad it's not used any more.

It's the back of a clothes dryer in the laundromat of hell

Pre UNIVAC days obviously - - and I agree, very very tempting. Would love to poke around in here.

Where old car batteries go to die -

I agree, don't change a thing! Those cylindrical fuses are 100 amp and very scary. I recall at a place I worked at we actually blew a few of them and I was 'elected' to change them only because no one else had the nerve. They were of course, in a dark, damp basement filled with old equipment that I would later have the honor of cleaning out. (most of it came home!)

Can you imagine the sound these machines must have put out? And back then I doubt they wore any ear protection - - beautiful pictures, they really make you think and wonder about life
