1938 Packard

Recommended Posts

Yeah, I know how eBay works. Lol. 

 

Last post for me in here. (until the reveal. lol)

 

What in the fucking fuck is it?

 

And, since you brought it up . . .  What did you pay for such a rare and fantastic item!?!?!?

My winning bid was what it's worth to me.  I like the nostalgia it brings - to a time when everybody minded their own business and didn't live on false excuses to impose their choices on everybody else.

You mean the shit you do on a daily basis with your posts?

I'm just putting the stuff out there.  Whether you follow it or not is up to you.  I'm not the one ramming bullshit laws based on bullshit through the state or federal legislature just because I see somebody being happy.

Uggh it doesn't look ceramic to me it looks like wax or soap. I know making soap into crazy shapes was big at

OK, I give up.

 

You already said that it wasn't one of those air purifiers they used to have to get rid of cigarette smoke, and that's the only commonality that I can think of between the places you listed during that time period. I either patronized or worked at all of the types of places you mentioned during the 70's and 80's, and I'll be damned if I've ever seen one.

 

SO WHAT IS IT ALREADY???

I don't know how reverse searching works.  Try it with this image.  BASS_DANCE.jpg

Psst... eBay isn't a dumpster, it's an online auction.

Isn't this definitive proof that you aren't really Packard? Assuming you really bought via eBay, you'd have to use a credit/debit card, or minimally a bank account. Both of which Packard was strongly opposed to ever doing, you dumb hack.

I'm not opposed to credit cards per se.  I'm opposed to running up charges that can't be paid off on the very first shot.  And yes, I have a checking account.

So, it's a cigarette lighter?

 

A plug in lighter, that totally doesn't sound like a fire hazard.....

It's not always on.  When you lift it and tilt it slightly, it lights.  If it's knocked over accidentally, the safety switch trips and it's as good as unplugged.

Wow!

 

That's only the second dumbest way of making it work!

 

Crisis averted!

It may seem dumb by modern standards, but back in the 1930's we were not a nation of people who wanted to be in bubble wrap all the time.  That's also why cars didn't have seatbelts.

They didn't have seatbelts back then because the dang vehicles would shake themselves to hell if they went over 30. :D

I started working in the hospital  back when patients could smoke in their rooms and we could smoke at the nurses' station (after visiting hours.) I have never seen anything that even vaguely resembled that. I think you need to revise the age up to 70, possibly higher.

 

Also, the next time, could you put something next to the objet du jour for scale? Thank you.

Ah yes, an era in which people were dumbasses who regularly put their lives at risk for no gain.  Much like smoking, come to think of it.

My parents couldn't even tell me wtf that is. I bet it wasn't even very high in demand when it first came out.

 

ofcourse that makes a lot of antique things into collectors item since they become rare when production stops.

 

whatever.. I wouldn't give a face down penny I found on the street for the thing. If I stumble across one I know

 

who to sell it to though I guess..

No, I'm pretty sure they had actual lighters in 1930. Tilt-to-use for an electric lighter seems dumb even by '30s standards.

You were linked to it.  You fucked up back when you said I was spamming the wrong guys FB inbox.  Like how would you even know that unless it was YOUR inbox.  You are a stupid, stupid man and you can STFU.

Did you forget the part where you showed a screenshot of an FB inbox?
