After I married and moved to Dallas, we also got Gold Bond stamps and Top Value stamps. My daughter still uses a table lamp that my husband and I got with trading stamps shortly after we were married, and I have several pieces of Revere Ware cookware. In fact my kitchen would have been kind of sparsely furnished back then had it not been for those stamps!
Oh, do I ever remember S & H Green Stamps. My Mom had me do the licking and sticking. She got so many things with them. A vacuum, TV Tray Set, Bedspreads, Luggage, Dishes, Glasses, Silverware....etc. It was a treat to go to the redemption store and cash in our books for something NEW. I wish we still had them.
