am sure lalasticlala can never know what these ones are. if you try to mention albums that were made long before the invention of the audio cassette. i am sure, i still have them in my collection of audio cartridge . this is what they used to be recorded on before the audio cassette was introduced. unfortunately, i have less than 100 of albums in this form. but hey! trust me, i have the best

Waoh, never seen the cartridge before. Can you open the cartridge from the coer and share the picture? I like to see how it looks like. The one I know is the turntable with its disc. Remember that? Have you got the pictures too?

yes, i hv the turn table, with over 200 disc albums. Nd they all still work. That is whr my original christmas carol albums are. Will take sm pictures and post here later

found it. knew i had this hidden somewhere

so i have about 200+ of albums in this format. All original albums. well, u cant pirate these anyway.

this is an information bank. it was one of the most useful device before the invention of the smart phone.

this is a bomb shell/case too from a different armored tank from the one i posted earlier. there is the bigger one and a smaller. my guess is that it is dated back to around the 1980s... please military men/women here should educate us more on this as i lack sufficient knowledge

This is the new world encyclopedia dated back to 1974. i have all 15 volumes. i trust what i read in this amazing book more than what i read on the internet...

ok, this is an electronic shaving stick. everything still intact even the manual lol, but of course it is not working anymore... this is back from the early 90s

i really wish this topic would make front page. would love to thrill people and encourage others to post what they have too... anyway this is an audio disk. i dont know the history of this, but it is quite smaller than the usual audio disk plate that is popular....any idea?

earlier in this post, i posted an 8-track audio cartridge, this is the device that plays that....

I dont know what this is, but it is an electronic because it has a plug, and looks like something for women.. or am guessing, this was used by men who kept really full afro

1990s championship... hahaha

various types of cassette players.... 1980s and 1990s

this is an hausa dagger, seized from a thief back in 1992. i remember this story very well. the blade is all rusted now though.. but the memory is stilll very fresh

video cassette player cleaner. Many of you reading this right now dont even know what a video cassette is. no offense... lol

My dad has most of the items listed till now.... and he knows how to keep antique.

this was when you arrive Lagos Nigeria from abroad back in 80s and you get a souvenir as a welcome back gift from the airline authorities. now they will be the ones to ask you what you brought for them. where did we get it wrong?

am beginning to appreciate them now. please if he has any thing not listed here, when you get the chance, kindly snap and upload here

i have no explanation for this. this is from 2 years ago, i just felt like throwing it in. this thing (whatever it is) is hanging in my living room, when ever people come visiting, they avoid walking beneath it, they think it will steal their destiny....

.... To be continued

I think that's a wind chime. It is a musical instrument but it can serve as a decoration as well, in the home, weddings, homely restaurants and the like. It is best when it is placed at the entrance to the home, the verandah or in an open place in the home where there will be no hindrance to its motion and sound. The sound it releases helps calm the mind and nerves, and also relieve stress. Some believe that it brings good luck to homes, some even gift it to newlyweds for their new homes as well as new homeowners.

Please post more. I'm loving this thread.!

Lalasticlala, na wa you o. This thread is dope and deserves front page.

this is cool..I know some of this. please this should be on frontpage.

Let's hope the great one finds us worthy to drink from his fountain of knowledge.

Awesome collection. These belonged to the. Rich then. Thanks for allowing some of us peep through the window on saturdays to watch 'film'. Funny enough we narrated the 'films' better than you wey watch from inside sef.

Dear op, thanks for bringing back fond childhood memories. Right now, i'd give anything to perceive the old & rusty smell of those items.
