This week’s #whatisitwednesday is a Dictaphone!

This week’s #whatisitwednesday is a Dictaphone!

The Dictaphone was an American company founded by Alexander Graham Bell that produced dictation machines. A lot like Band-Aids and Kleenex, the name "Dictaphone" is trademarked, but has become a generalized term for a dictation machine. Voice would be recorded on a wax cylinder and could be played back after recording. Dictaphones evolved over time, transitioning from wax cylinders to cassette tapes. The company that created it evolved too, moving from dictaphones to answering machines and the modern voicemail system.

#toytuesday - Check out this adorable wind-up tin

#toytuesday - Check out this adorable wind-up tin penguin toy, circa 1910. Wind-up toys were first introduced to Europe in the late 15th century for wealthy aristocrats, a branch of the clock-making industry. Tin toys like the one pictured here did not reach the masses until the Industrial Revolution made it possible for such objects to be made quickly, cheaply, and in large quantities.

Thank you to Jim Merrill for donating this classic toy to the Collections at the Wood County Museum.
