Guilty as charged. I remember every one and pretty much all everyone else has added....
Here's mine.
S & H Green stamps. Collect them when you bought groceries and cash them in for dishes, household items...
I have Buffalo Bob's autograph...A treasure...

I also remember:
"We also had a wood burning cook stove. It made the best bread ever." We didn't have one but DH's grandmother did and so did many people living in Brooklyn, it warmed the house, heated the water and did the cooking and baking right there in the kitchen.
"Wringer washer cause my grandmother thought the automatic washers used too much water." My mother had a huge wringer washer, didn't want a 'modern' automatic washer, that is until she got her arm caught in the wringers and there was no one around to release her.
" my grandfather's corvair" Oh that little Corvair- it was our first New car back in the early 1960's. The back seat folded down which was very handy when we went to the drive in movies with our 2 young sons. Sons would be in their pj's so when they fell asleep they could snuggle on their pillows and blankets so DH and I could enjoy our night out.
