Days of yore
Old time refers to the past, especially a nostalgic or fondly remembered era: in the old time, for old time's sake.
As an adjective (often hyphenated as old-time), it describes things characteristic of or surviving from an earlier period: old-time religion, old-time fiddle music, an old-time general store.
The phrase evokes simpler, more traditional ways.
