One of the great things about antiques is that they show us just how much things have changed. Some everyday items from the past have become completely irrelevant, while others have undergone significant changes. Below, we’ve found 7 items that have either disappeared or transformed over time. Let’s see how many you can accurately identify!

Let’s start with an easy one. This item was a necessity for early mornings. Any guesses?

If you guessed a coffee grinder, you are correct! Before Starbucks was on every corner, coffee beans were sold whole, and you would have to hand crank them before making your morning cup of joe. I don’t think I could handle that much exercise before my first cup of coffee.

Now, here’s an item that many of us still use, but it has definitely changed over the years. It’s one of the more divisive household chores, and we can’t imagine having to lug this thing around.

If you answered a vacuum cleaner, you’re right! The item pictured below is actually the Baby Daisy. Designed in France and dating back to 1910, the Baby Daisy was a manually-operated vacuum that required two people to operate. One person would stand on the base of the vacuum and move it back and forth using a broomstick in the holder on the front, while the second person would do the actual vacuuming with the hose.

Back to the kitchen for item number 3, which is still around. If you can’t tell from the photo below, here’s a hint: it would go well with the coffee grinder from item one.

If you said a toaster, you’re correct! Yes, the best thing since sliced bread… well, the best thing to happen to sliced bread? Either way, toasters as we know them today began to appear when Albert Marsh developed a way to use a safe heating element in a toaster in the early 20th century. Before that, people used to toast their bread by the fire!

You may not see this item in as many kitchens nowadays unless that kitchen belongs to a baker. However, they still make new versions of this baking utensil, and the technology hasn’t changed much (things have just gotten a bit more shiny).

No one likes lumpy dough, which is why you should always use a flour sifter! While flour is still sold in large sacks, back in the day, the containers were even bigger than they are now. All of that flour would eventually become packed tightly. Running flour through the sifter would help aerate it, making it lighter and easier to mix. Perfect for making bread for that fancy toaster!

Here’s one that is simple, straightforward, and really only serves one purpose. You would often see it installed by the front door. And while they’re not all as fancy as the one below, they are definitely effective.

Whether you call it a boot scraper or a mud scraper, you’re right! These were used to scrape off the excess mud and dirt from the bottom of your shoes before entering your home. We’ve already seen how bulky vacuums used to be, and no one likes having to grab the old broom or mop, so it’s no wonder these handy contraptions were invented.

Okay, this one might not be an everyday item, but we wish it was! Many of us probably did something similar to what this contraption does in our science classes growing up. Need another hint? It was perfect for a hot summer day.

We all scream for ice cream, but we can’t scream until we make it! Yes, this old-fashioned ice cream maker used a hand crank and two bowls: one small bowl filled with the delicious ingredients, and a second larger bowl filled with rock salt and ice. The rock salt allows the ice to absorb the heat from the ingredients, leaving us with a creamy, frozen treat!

Perhaps it’s just us, but this is the one from the entire list that we had the most difficulty with. You don’t see them very often, although they are making a comeback thanks to food bloggers finding unique, creative uses for them.

If you said an egg slicer, then bravo! The egg slicer has been around since its invention in the early 20th century. Today, people use egg slicers for just about anything: cheese, fruits, vegetables, you name it!

So, how did you do? Were you able to guess all 7 correctly?
