I Thought I Had Seen Everything… Then I Went Back To The 1930s And Saw This.
Every product that we use day-to-day had to come from somewhere. Even as something as simple as a telephone had countless versions that were created and tested. You might not realize, though, that there were other inventions throughout history that didn’t quite make the cut like the telephone did. A Reddit user found some of these old-timey (and sometimes frighteningly awesome) inventions and shared them. I would buy most of these. Immediately.
This stroller that would protect babies from gas (1938).
A single-wheeled motorcycle (1931).

A bicycle that fit the whole family… plus a sewing machine (1939).
An ice cube mask made to cure hangovers (1947).

My neighbors would be so jealous if they saw me riding my water-bicycle around town. Source
