Just checked with GOOGLE and you can still get them on EBay! They showed stamps, catalogs, and the signs that hung outside businesses.

Anyone remember: A&P plaid stamps?

The first TV was black and white (only), rabbit ears!!, and then we got the first COLOR TV on the block!! I even remember the 4 button ultrasonic remote control, on/off, volume up/down, and change channel ( only had 2 to 13 as I recall).

How many remember the hand crank telephones that mounted on the wall and required you to stand to use it? When I was young we had one in our farmhouse in Iowa.

Sometimes you would put aluminum foil on the ends for better reception.

Who remembers when the first TV dinners came out. Aluminum foil bottom and top... Mmmm ... loved me some Salisbury steak, but don't forget to cut open a hole over the apple crisp looking goo
