:coolsmiley: 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? :popcorn:

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.
