HendryTan Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 1. Read in ST today that another old BrashBasah bookshop will be closing its door. http://www.straitstimes.com/lifestyle/chapter-closes-for-77-year-old-shop 2. One of those stationary items caught my eye. 3. Old birds here, you have any of such old items here that the newer generation will be challenged to identify ? Yes, upload it for sharing.

azimuth Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Lol. I thought I am old but I guess maybe not old enough because I cannot identify the item in the photo. Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Long ago, I have used a similar one, but circular (not octogonal), and without brush... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yhtang Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 That eraser is more meant for typewriters. The brush is the clue, it is used to brush away the debris before typing recommence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sphere Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 @HendryTan, this is an interesting thread, it would be good to let the older ones reminiscing the old times/objects/places; while the younger ones get to know about the existence of the past (and/or items/places) eh. How about consolidating all similar threads into one? It will a real "gem" eh. Some of them are below: (1) Reminiscence... (for The 70s And The Early 80s Babies) (2) Remembering Old Times (3) 20 Singaporean Street Names And The Fascinating Stories Behind Them (4) Back To The 80's (Not For The Young) (5) Guys Born In The 1950S And 1960S... (6) Singapore Like You Ain't Seen Before! There was another thread with photos of older Singapore (I think there was one with Raffles Place or One Fullerton), but couldn't find this thread. Haha. HendryTan, Bern and mate69 3 Happy - is what we should be, always.

Guest Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 It's actually more interesting for such topics to pop up suddenly like that. It's like having a random conversation with friends, talking about everything under the clear blue sky and then suddenly the conversation turning into this. It's more fun that way.
