My original thread, my rules, my judgment as to the best suggestions so far.
Take a bow, those who nominated the following:

Linseed oil on cricket bats
Donkey stone
Whipping tops
Cap guns
Putting a newspaper up on a shovel over the fire to get a draught going

These are really really old things, not like modern inventions such as CB radio and Curly Wurlies, which are (to me) quite modern
