2:19 those modern cars totally got me off guard :-D

What beauties!

@EgaoNoGenki Back then, a pen that contained its own ink-supply was considered a novelty. Don't forget that a writing instrument that holds its own supply of ink has only been around about 120 years. Because they were so new in the 1920s, they were still very expensive.

@Shangas $4 for a fountain pen? So that's $60-80 in today's money?
Nowadays, an average pen might be 15¢, and that's in today's money.
What gives?
-
@roybo1930 Think you could donate one to me maybe?
-
@ladyvee7110 Hi, Yeah that's very true. Unfortunate, but true. I think we've lost a lot in pride and quality of manufacture these days. It's one reason why I buy vintage goods rather than modern ones - they last longer.

@Shangas I could answer like every immature youtuber and insult you ;) but no!
Yeah prices have changed much, here in switzerland we used to buy a pack of cigarettes for 1chf (swiss franc) and now its close to 7chf. I think in the US they are cheaper right?
-
@Zioghiro I didn't say it wasn't expensive, I was just making a comparison of how much prices have changed.
-
@Shangas have you ever thought of inflation? 8$ back then are worth 80$ now..
your fountain pen of $4 would have cost $42.47!

1920s: cars, airplanes, radioby erty14504,860 views
Aaah. You think about how much stuff cost back then...
A film was five cents (from which we get the term 'nickelodeon')
A bottle of soda was five cents.
A cheap pocket watch was one dollar.
A Model T Ford was about $280-$300.
A decent fountain pen was $4.
The crazy thing is...
...So many of those things made 80, 90, 100 years ago...work just as well today as they did back then. I can't think of a single thing made today that will work just as well now as it will in 100 years' time.
