Graphite grease.

Used on a wind up gramophone. An amazing smell linked to the scratchy sounds of 78s.

The smell of something I think is called Teak Oil. Mum used it to polish our coffee table. That coffee table was our dining table sometimes, my Dad caught his shin on it countless times, and there are toothmarks round the edge from when my sister and I were teething. It was one of the very few (possibly the only) pieces of furniture that moved back to England with us from Belfast.

It's in Mum's garage now, and I've said I want it, once I have anywhere to put it.

Also, the old style Nee-naa sirens on emergency vehicles, when heard without accompanying modern woo woo style. Growing up where I did, we heard a lot of them.

Vick. The stuff that used to be rubbed on my chest when I had a cold. How about malt as well?

Yes indeed , I still self-medicate with the malts, but now take it by the glass rather than a sticky spoon, as in the old days.
