Doesn't seem to happen today.

Never have seen one like that. I'm surprised I had not seen one at my grandmother's out the country when I was growing up. I remember the old flower sacks though, that had kitchen towels sewn into the end of them. And oat boxes that had a cup and a saucer in them. Remember those?<br>SonyaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8395555111688403818.post-90257526452072461572005-07-30T04:15:00.000-07:002005-07-30T04:15:00.000-07:00I remember the "key" coffee cans, and know they we...I remember the "key" coffee cans, and know they were still in use around 66-67. Maybe they went by the wayside when the electric can openers really "took off".<br>My Gramma used to get foods in really big cans [#10 I think], and remember making a "hobo" stove out of one, and cooking on it for a Camp Fire girl badge.<br>We fried an egg on it ! LOL - as I remember, you cut the center out of a slice of bread, and that way the egg didn't run all over. Thanks for stirring up sweet memories, Donna.
