How very strange ! Maybe she had a shop like this in the 50's and when she arrived in the USA set it up exactly the same way... doesn't sound like she was very happy ...

Yes, I believe you're right. She no doubt established her shop around the time you're guessing. (Though in Canada, not the U.S.) I think she might have been in a state of ongoing culture shock. The more so because, even when compared with previous-generation Canadians, the young people who'd come of age in the '70s and '80s must've seemed a 'new breed'.

A few more...

Honda CG125! These were never exported to the US. UK and JDM version. Nice styling. I rode the US version many years back. Not much power, but fun.

This is 100 year old Metal pinwheel Calculator. It originally had a wooden case similar to those you find on sewing machines.. where it has a base and a lid...

This is identical to the manual Typewriter I learned to type on in school in the late 60's...except mine was an Underwood...but some of the class had this same Imperial..

about a year after I finished school electric typewriters like this Adler along with Olympia etc were introduced to the school...and my sister learned far more easily on an electric typewriter than we did 3 years ahead of her on manual..

if you look to the right you may notice that the green typewriter is a Lego Typewriter ..and altho; the carriage moves etc.. it's for display purposes only
