I loved looking through the Encyclopedia it is very neat sometimes to read and entry and then see what else has happened since then: Titanic, Space Travel etc. A classic snapshot at times are the end of year yearbooks I have a few that are a riot to look over.

Ask anyone under about 35 what a church key is and they won't know. I explained what a church key was to a woman bartender one time and she asked me why they call it a church key. DUH.

Yep. I remember them all. We still use the electric fry pan and there's an egg slicer in our kitchen drawer.

Etymology
The term in the beverage-opening sense is apparently not an old one; Merriam-Webster finds written attestation only since the 1950s.[8] Several etymological themes exist. The main one is that the ends of some bottle openers resemble the heads of large keys such as have traditionally been used to lock and unlock church doors.[9] The other is that jocularity helped propel the popular spread of the name, with the joke being that opening a beer is an activity that usually has little to do with pious or ecclesiastical circumstances—historical connections between monasteries and brewing notwithstanding.

I actually have all three kitchen items. Inherited them from my parent's kitchen, and remember all teh other things. If you grew up in the fifties, everything should look familiar to you.

My parents bought the entire set of World Book Encyclopedia, one book at a time, sold to them by a door-to-door salesman (remember them?).
