We can't believe how much technology has changed over the years - this radio is a stylish piece of furniture but we prefer our Echos. :) You?

I have an old 1930 RCA floor model radio that belonged to my grandparents.... vacuum tubes and all. I love it!

I would LOVE to have a radio like this! The only problem is that the programming and music is no where near the wonderful quality of the 1930s and 40s.

My grandmothers first television (circus early 60’s) was encased in a beautiful wooden cabinet with doors on it. It was a piece of furniture. After the tv was finished my Uncle Leo made a cabinet out of it.

2020 marks 20 years since the inception of AncientFaces. We are the same team who began this community so long ago. Over the years it feels, at least to us, that our family has expanded to include so many. Thank you!

I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come.
I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director
