"Cosplay for old people". I thought that was the House of Lords?

Editing so that the conversations with people seem really brief gives me the impression that Lloyd just barges in everywhere. :D

Oddly enough, this exact type of shop was common in Romania, especially in rural areas, during the communist period, so I remember it from my childhood. I still know of one such shop (selling nuts, bolts nails, etc) still miraculously existing. It's literally something from another era - the sellers wear blue cotton smocks, they use mechanical scales with actual weights and when you buy something they pack it in brown paper and tie it with twine...

So headlight fluid is really a thing!

You HAVE to show us the entire outfit, looks like a Hussar jacket, and at 1.44 I saw you with a hat and... A walking stick I believe?

Piss, for when urine a dark spot.

"An if you run out of water you can git behind a bush an-"

I'm with you Loyd, we need fancy weights and gubbins.. has 40k taught us nothing?

HAHA! "and if you run out of water, you could get behind a bush an-" "THATS ENOUGH OF THAT"

my great-grand mother came from Italy in 1916, and my grandmother and grand-aunts were born in the same house that one of them inhabited until she died, well into the 2000's.

"cmon, were rich and have loads of technology, why cant we have sliding weights in the shape of an eagle" magnificent.

One of very few youtubers that always make me excited when I see his name in the sub box.

Who doesn't love machines made of brass and wood?

What would happen if you fell over on your bike with that lamp on?

Great video. Now I wish there was such a big museum where I live too.

Thanks for posting this LB. I loved it. I love old stuff like this. I was in Colorado and went to historic South Park town, which was a mining community, along side other mining towns with wonderful names like "Fair Play". Just the names give you a sense of the culture of the times in the area. Anyway, it was a historic town you could walk through decorated with the precision of the town in your video, but set in the mid 19th century. They had every building you would think a young boomtown would need. It wasn't crowded the day I went, so my girl and I had the place almost to ourselves, which allowed me to really soak in the atmosphere. I sat at the bar of a saloon, complete with nude painting above the billiard table. I sat in (I'm bad) an old rocking chair in a frontier house and probably spent a good 10 minutes just relaxing, all the while thinking of the people who came before me, and how they must have thought the same things I would think had i sat there long enough.
