These were called Blizzard Cones. Before waterproof mascara was invented, women were offered these special masks as a way to protect their make-up from the elements.

2. A Radio Hat!

Nowadays we can listen to music, watch movies and read the news on our smartphones. But back in the day, if you wanted to keep up-to-date with everything, you could wear a Radio Hat.

3. Ancestors of Lifejackets!

Some things in their first edition looked so ridiculous that people were too embarrassed to use them. For example, these trendy lifejackets!

4. Dimple-Maker

This ground-breaking device, the ad stated, would present its user with a charming set of dimples if used continuously.

5. The GoofyBike

The GoofyBike. This is what, according to Charles Steinlauf of Chicago, a family bicycle is supposed to look like. So basically, no one is going anywhere without a sewing machine.

The Shower Hood: yet another vital device none of us can live without!

The Suspender Baby Cage. These things were actually distributed to members of the Chelsea Baby Club in London, who had no gardens.
