What about things you don't see any more not because they have been superseded or depreciated, but because they have become un-PC (politically incorrect). E.g. Mink coats, crocodile shoes, (ivory key pianos?), rare tropical hardwood furniture?, marmalade.
Also some TV shows might come into that category.Comment
