My dad's basement

I'm back in Chicago and going through my father's basement and crawl space.
It's like Neverland......with all sorts of man toys and interesting machines....

Here's a few of the things I found today...........

A milkshake maker. Nope..we never owned a restaurant and as far as I can remember dad never cooked....so this was interesting...plus I found the stainless steel milkshake containers.


Bing Crosby.....Mitch Miller.....Big Band music....some 78's.... some standard vinyl


Oh ho....I don't think these are politically correct but I remember they were filled with peanuts or pretzels on my dad's bar when I was little.


Oh this made me laugh...the infamous Burt Reynolds posing natural for the a Cosmo girl insert.
It says "Yours Truly".....could my dad somehow have gotten it autographed...???
