"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the tradewinds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." and
"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness."

No, but I've seen some interesting lamps from the 1950s that are in weird shapes and have shades that are drizzled with metallic paint.

8-track tape player? Used to have one in my '69 VW Beetle, but it got stolen (the player, not the car). VCR? Still have one. wringer washing machine? No, but my mother-in-law did. She wouldn't use anything else.

My mother's battered old aluminum cookie sheets
My mother's hand crank egg beater

My mother's and mother-in-law's recipes.
My mother's 1940s silverware.

This particular buffalo had an on screen performance in the movie Dances with Wolves. I don't think he ever got over it. He used to take pictures with the tourists. Let the little kids ride him. We called him..., Kevin.
We still have and use the clothes line (I don't do dryers) and vhs players.
I also still have old school 35mm camera, the Olympus OM-10.....a and still use it.
Thanks for the questions, have a great day!
