Record Players

Record players and records were very popular in this time period. They were used to play music. How many records did you own back in the day?

Quick Tanning

These days, there are so many different self-tanners available. Back in these days, there was QT or Quick Tanning by Coppertone. It contained dihydroxyacetone which came from sugar beets. Did you ever use it? Do you remember seeing this advertisement?

Crop Tops & Flared Pants

S&H Green Stamps

During this time period, S&H Green Stamps sold way more stamps than the post office. They were one of the very first loyalty programs in the United States. Did you buy any green stamps? Unfortunately, they went out of business for good in 2008.

The Erector Set

An Erector set was a set of toy construction pieces. They were meant for kids who loved to put things together and a learning tool for future engineers. Did you ever have one of these sets?

Toy Snow Cone Machine
