Check a good sporting goods/outdoor store, like REI.

canned tomatoes  (You can get what we used to call "salad tomatoes",
but not tomatoes that are simply canned.)

Still avail, so far as I know.  Last bought a couple cans about a
year ago.  Still see them on the shelves.

Definitive stamps that allowed one to mail a letter without affixing
an opinion.  I didn't even know that plain, ordinary not-special
stamps *had* a name.

I think non-self adhesive postage stamps are an endangered
species.

Road maps.

You can still get them from AAA.  The local office has them in a
couple of vending machines (no cost, it's just a way to select
what you want) in their lobby.

User manuals.   Nowadays, the time to go obsolete is about half the
time it takes to write a halfway-decent manual.

The Raspberry Pi folks release their manuals in both electronic
(PDF) form and as "dead tree" versions.

Mattresses that it's possible to tuck a sheet under.

Wouldn't that lead to the demise of fitted bottom sheets?

Can't speak to the rest of the list.
