    I am 62, and I remember all of them. Mom hung the strands of icicles one at a time, and they were beautiful. She had the ringer machine at one time, and my brother got his whole arm in it. I had the saddle shoes. Mom bought lots of those Tony Permanent kits. Had a real collection of those records. I had the makeup, and the cologne. Between me and mom I have seen them all, and used most of them. It was a simpler time, and a good time.

    At 77 I remember all of them and this is the truth. I am sitting at my computer desk and there is a wall outlet with a brass cover and four black buttons next to my desk. I use it. It is for the front door light and the porch light. What is good lasts! Forever! Edie

    I'm 63 & I remember all of them except the tape thing at the bottom of the page. Can't place that but everything else brought back a lot of memories.

    Recognized all. I have the juice glasses with gold trim which I bought from my elderly neighbor because I wanted something to remember her by and we use them almost every day!

    Yep, I remember & used each & every one of them. I still have my 45's with the adapters & a record player that still works. When one of my Grandson's was about 8 (now 27) & we were sewing together, I ask him if he wanted to listen to some of my old songs. He was excite & when I pulled out my 45"s, he said "Gee grandma, I've never seen CD's that big before". Boy did I laugh. He was impressed not only with the songs on the 45's, but also the 78's I still have. He loved watching the arm go up to let another record play & the are return to play another song. I still have the 8track tapes & a player for them too. Don't figure I have to mention my age & some things I hoard. LOL

    annette1952, I think you are talking about the roll of caps that fit in a child's cap gun that made a bang when the trigger was pulled. Those were fun to play with even if I am a girl. Well, maybe a tomboy. LOL

    Each one the latest gadget or thing at their time. I'm 67 and remember the excitement when my parents bought the latest gadget home.

    Wow, that brought back memories, I remember each and every item in those pictures! Yesterday while shopping for fabric I had a flashback of those machines that measured fabric as it was pulled through the device.

    My DH collects 45 record players. he calls the adaptors for the 45's 'dinkers'. It must be a technical term...
