Children nowadays wouldn’t recognize a VHS tape, landline phone, or walkman.

It’s fascinating to witness how quickly everyday items can become outdated due to technological advancements.

I have to confess, when I initially saw a picture of the object below, I had no clue about its identity.
I could tell it was a metal tool, but apart from that, I was completely puzzled. Can you recall and identify this object?

Recognize this? It’s a vintage oil can opener spout! Despite its ancient appearance, it’s actually from the 1980s. In those days, this tool was used to make a hole in the can’s top, and the spout was used for pouring oil.

Although it may seem basic, this object is quite clever.

It feels like yesterday when I reminisce about the ’80s. It’s astonishing to realize that the ’80s were over 40 years ago!

Although these openers are not commonly used today, I’m sure many people still keep one in their garage along with their tools.

Mechanics, in particular, tend to collect them! Therefore, if you happen to stumble upon one of these cool gadgets at a yard sale or antique store, it might be worth considering to buy it.
