I know, but I'll let someone else guess...
Ok, you got me with this one...Ok who knows what these are?
Does anyone remember?
I do!
Easter eggs!
I had several, and used to make them, for myself and friends. I took a leathercrafting class in 4-H when I was 11 or 12 and man, I was makin' key holders and belts like nobody's business! LOL! I wish I still had some of them. I gave them all away.
I did, even in the kitchen, although they were meant for camping and on-the-go. Those look like Sugar Pops, one of my favorites.
I can remember these prices, even a bit cheaper
Me, too. I wasn't driving yet, but my dad would stop in at the Awful Bros. gas station (that was the real name) to get gas and cigarettes. The gas was 25 cents a gallon and cigs were 25 cents a pack.
Who can remember usin one of these
I wish I still had my old egg beater. I use a fork and do a good job, but the beater was so much easier, LOL! Course, it was more to clean up afterward, too.
A P-91! I think that's what they were called. I never got the hang of using that particular can opener, but my dad was an expert. He served in Korea for a few years, though, and he had to learn to use it or go hungry.
YES! It made us feel famous for someone on the radio to actually say our name! We called all the time, made pests of ourselves, I'm sure.
Who remembers these crazy things
HIPPETY-HOPS! I had one.
Who remembers this
It's a compact. Mirror on the flip up side, pressed powder (to powder one's nose) on the bottom with a little powder pad to apply it.
I love the old primetime players, real comedy
The only SNL worth watching, if you ask me. They were just FUNNY, no "strings" attached. Land Shark! OMG. I used to laugh so hard watching these.
Sorry, it's a folding travel alarm clock
I barely recall a BIG kinda slide, it was all made out of logs, climb up one side on the logs, sit down at the top of it, then kinda slide down, it was so very bumpy going down, but so so fun! It was at Gage Park in Topeka KS. All the children loved it, but whomever decided it was just too dangerous for the children, grrrr, they took it down.Who remembers when kids slides looked like this
.
Did, or does, anyone else remember having one in your park?
OK it's been long enough, Here's the answerOk who knows what these are?
These are window weights, they worked to counter balance the weight of the old time windows
I have used them as boat anchors too
Window weightsOk who knows what these are?
If you bought your Coke in this, you are truly old
good old P38
Oh, no! I missed two? Where did I get P91, I wonder? Oh, it's probably some kind of gun. Well, I got the P part right, LOL!
The travel alarm clock stumped me, but I guess if I had noticed how thick it was, I wouldn't have guessed compact. My nana had a compact that was square and almost that exact same color and finish, but it was thinner. I had a little one when I was a kid, but it was round. I never carried one as an adult - maybe they'd fallen out of common use by then.
I had no clue on the window weights, but I should have. Now that I know what they are, I think I remember seeing them when I was very small. Back when I used to lick the lead paint on the grandparent's windowsills to get a "buzz" on my tongue. Ah, those were the days, eh? At least I didn't stick a fork in an outlet.

I used to have a couple of those. They never kept time well. The alarms sounded like shit if they felt like working. They did better at holding the trash can liner down.Who remembers this
