#36: Back to the Future
When we think of family heirlooms, we tend to think of very old antiques that were made over 100 years ago. However, items that are much more modern can be family keepsakes as well. Take this fabulous 1985 radio that someone inherited from their grandpa. We know, we know. We don’t like that 1985 is now considered “vintage,” but the times are a-changing.
This futuristic radio looks like a lot of fun. It’s a Spirit of St. Louis radio that looks fresh out of the box. According to the storyteller, their grandfather was a meticulous person who kept everything in tip-top shape. Even though 1985 wasn’t all that long ago, certain items can definitely show some wear and tear over time. Not this little guy!
