I found one of those mini washers at a flea market once, it worked great until the bushes in the electric motor wore out and I could find a replacement.

The first thing is a thermos to keep a bottle of milk cool on the table. At this point in history, milk was delivered to the home in bottles, not in cartons (as we've been discussing on another entry). There was an auto-baby feeder a few months ago, though; are you referring to that one? That was weird, although I suppose if you had ten kids it might be handy. What automatic baby feeder?
