Item 1: Necessity for Early Mornings
Let’s start with an easier one. Can you guess what this item was used for? If you guessed a coffee grinder, then you are absolutely right! Back in the day, coffee beans were sold whole, and you had to hand crank them before brewing your morning cup of joe. Imagine the effort required before even having your first sip of coffee!
Item 2: A Challenging Household Chore
This next item is still used today, but it has definitely changed over time. Can you guess what it is? If you said a vacuum cleaner, you are correct! The vacuum model pictured here is called the Baby Daisy. It was designed in France and dates back to 1910. The Baby Daisy was a manually-powered vacuum that required two people to operate it. One person would stand on the base of the vacuum, moving it back and forth using a broomstick in the holder, while the second person would do the actual vacuuming with the hose. It’s a good thing vacuum cleaners have come a long way!
