I can’t even remember the last time I saw a gas range or oven that didn’t have pizoelectric starters. My cousin has a stove from the 1930s, that was probably it.

The last time I saw one was in France in about the 1990s. That’s because France in the 1990s is similar to everywhere else in the 1840s

I wonder when the black-and-white striped shirt first came into existence in France. My guess would be the 1840s because of the spread of power loom technology.

1858 when the French Navy instituted an official uniform for low level sailors. Previously they had worn their own clothes.
