There are some time-travel novels where the travelers are enclosed in something similar what is used to send people to the bottom of the ocean. Anyway, I prefer more recent time-travel--but after dentistry and indoor plumbing advances please!
In the later '40s we had a magazine exchange in Wichita Falls, where you could buy pulps and comic books at two for a nickel. Plus, as late as 1972 I found a used bookstore in Dallas with pulps and comic books priced at two bucks each, except for 1st issues, which were four bucks. That's as far back as I want to go (lol). Cap'n Bob, there is an antique store in Wichita Falls with a lot of those old toys. There's a two-gun holster set I want to buy, but my wife looks at me with that knowing look if I start to open my wallet (sigh).

I'm not worried. When I get to go back in time it will be in the last hundred years or so. I'm not interested in petting a dinosaur.

I's go back to the fifties and stock up on toys, models, bikes, paperbacks, and other neat stuff.
The one everyone forgets is that in the past the earth (in fact, the entire galaxy) was in a different location.
