Heard of antique stores?
They sell china, furniture, clocks, fountain pens, crystal, lamps, 
books, magazines, postcards, musical instruments, pottery, toys, 
teddy-bears, kitchen-ware, clothes, door-knobs, water-pipes, jewels, 
linen, binoculars, tennis rackets...
Most of the stuff works. Enjoyed by some, dismissed by others.
But there's nothing like playing a tennis match with a 1930's wooden 
racket and without tie-break.
