says: "Plaste and Elaste from Schkopau is an advertising slogan from
the GDR that referred to plastic products from VEB Chemische Werke Buna,
based in Schkopau in Saxony-Anhalt...
Plaste was a brand name
for thermoplastics and Elaste a brand name for elastomers, which had
been developed by the Buna works in the early 1930s and had made Germany
largely independent of imports of plastics and natural rubber...
In
West Germany, as in other countries, the terms 'plastic' or 'synthetic'
were used for synthetic materials..." (translation by DeepL)
And from that material these beauties were made:
Ingo has a white one... shoot, must look where that is - must be as old!!!
The 70´s were such HAPPY times (for me).
Some things I took to Braunschweig for safe living:
My Brother was born late 1977 and let me have it all as it does not mean much to him.
By the lamp was a telephone, in white, this was in another place:
I could barely sit. Dad´d taught me what a telephone was for.
Left me by myself for a couple of minutes.
Was
proud I "fake-used" it until.... I "spoke" Japanese. He´d by chance
(via selling many SEIKO-watches) been to Japan hence heard...
Woooohhhh, expensive call I did.
Did he learn?
Nope. Taught me to drive the BMW when I was 14. Go figure.
More:
I didn´t let the clock get repaired to keep the price-tag Dad wrote by hand...
Boy that clock was expensive - no wonder he didn´t sell it in our little town!
Same here:
The PHILIPS also had a radio!!!Mom had some cosmetics in this:
In the bedroom:
These I found rotten in the attic too late, very, very sadly...
Dad teaching me how to "read". Glasses were fake but, notice: Thongs on from early on! Not necessarily an "Aussie-thing" - how about you - flip-flops forever?
Certainly it does not stop!!!!
Just like that - in the street! Also this beaut:
What were or are your fav times of your life?
I mean... I´d never want to miss any of our journeys, either!!
I think I can be very, VERY thankful.
Despite having a chronically sick partner I was lucky and happy most of my life so far!
"33 retro dishes that are rarely served today
Sausages
are an art form in their own right – from bratwurst to currywurst to
grützwurst. The latter originates from the former GDR and is a type of
black pudding with grain groats. This traditional dish is also known as
'Dead Grandma,' served with boiled potatoes and sauerkraut. The dish
owes its macabre name to the red color of the grützwurst.
In the past, this delicacy was a must-have in every restaurant, and
today, with a bit of luck, you can still find it in traditional beer
halls in some regions."
I think I skip, "Dead Grandma" sound not really yummy...

Btw.... My Dad´s hand.... mine looks the same now.
