Rare 4 digit phone number paper bag

-
When my mum did her cleaning up at home, she across a big bunch of vintage paper bags left a in a cupboard which is owned by my grandmother. To my excitement, I did a quick browse through all the paper bags, hoping to find some rare advertisements printed on the paper bags. During the search, my eyes were suddenly captured by the number of digits of the telephone number. I was really surprised to see 4 digit phone number printed on the paper bags. 4 digit phone number on paper bags does mean it is old and also very rare to get one.

Paper bag from the 1950s
Here is a rare Sabah paper bag
Here is a rare 1950s paper bag
Here is a rare paper bag from the 1950s

An easy guess, all of these paper bags could be from the late 50s or early 60s. I am also mind blown to see that most of the paper bags that my grandma had kept are still in a very good condition I bet she have kept all these for the future generations to view them.

    Custom Bags
    are one of the best inventions of humans. The best thing about hand-carry bags is that they can be used to carry almost anything. Provided it fits in the bag. Some people design purses while keeping hand-carry bags in mind.

Vintage Blue and White Rice Grain Porcelain plates

9Some of us had grown up eating from these type of blue and white porcelain plates but had no idea why it is design like these. There are some even saw these kind of plates being used in hawker centers or food courts where famous dishes like char kuey teow are being served on top of them.   Let me tell you the story behind these plates, so you don't need to dig thru the whole library of webpages to find it. These plates are known as rice gran plates or ling long plates which is a common name called back in China which stands for exquisite. These plates originated from Jingdezhen, which is known as the porcelain capital for China. The plates originated back to the early 19th century, but these white grain rice version came to southeast Asia in the mid 70s to the late 90s. There were really many versions of these plates being produced, the most common one is the one you see in the picture here.  At the top edge of the plates, you can see some symbols which looks like bats and there i

Konica Autoreflex T2

Konica Autoreflex T2 is not really a popular camera in the past unlike Canon or Nikon. One feature of this camera which I like the most is the solid metal finishing. It makes the camera looks more vintage and older feel.  The front view of the camera This camera also comes with 1.4 57mm Hexanon lens which takes good and clear pictures. Hexanon lens are known for it's quality and sharpness.  Camera like this are less expensive compared to Nikon F2, Nikon FE and Canon A1. The price range for a Konica Autoreflex T2 is about 200 SGD around that pricing.  The Konica lens cap is very flimsy and it can drop off anytime. This is one of the cons of the camera plus it is super heavy too.   The camera is so crafted well until it looks like a leica

Vintage USHA fan

This fan was originally bought in 1946 right after world war 2, when my great grandma bought the shop. I believe that time, after the war broke out, many of the shops when through renovations and many of them were rebuilt back again. So that is how I predict the age and the year of this fan. This fan is placed in the living room upstairs of the old shop. Having a ceiling fan like this was really a luxury in the past, as many couldn't afford it. The most common brand ceiling fan in the 40s were GEC fan. USHA is a cheaper version of the GEC fan as it is made in India. The quality of the USHA fan is as good as the quality of the GEC fan. This fan ball bearing have not been changed for about 40 years and it is still in good working condition. The fan can still spin at max speed without making any noise. Whereas for the fan regulator, a GEC regulator was being used to replace the old USHA regulator. After searching in the store room at the old shop, I found this old regulato
