Ingenious Inventions

This is a fun book loaded with interesting and weird whimsical domestic devices. The fun is in trying to figure out "what the heck is that!!" This book is loaded with great photos and explanations of domestic devices such as: egg scales, foot warmers, sausage plungers, rug beaters, chimney cleaners, chicken catchers and more. You have a veritable feast of pictorial guessing games in this book. Test your knowledge of artifacts from America's past. It's great fun!!! And educational too. :0)
