If you were a child or teenager from the 1950s to the 1970s, you may remember strange objects like carpentry tools and bottle openers. But at that time, this object had a special function.
Old fashioned roller skates
Before the appearance of the sleek modern style that we know today, there were rollerskates with a rather unusual appearance. These skates had a metal base, secured with leather straps, and were intended to be worn over the user’s shoes.
Mysterious key
Now let’s uncover the secrets of this strange metal instrument. The tool in question is a wrench. This key came with every roller skate released during those decades. What is his goal? Change the tension or loosen the pad.
Most skaters wore their keys around their necks, so losing them could mean buying new skates.
Nostalgia revealed
Isn’t that exciting? Some of you may remember the days of metal skates and the keys that came with them. It was in stark contrast to modern roller skates, which are made of lightweight plastic.
So if you have those old skates, keep them, especially if the original keys are still there. It may become a valuable collection in the future.
