    You know showing pictures of people smoking is not suitable for children these days...I'm not joking, I wish I were.

    I'm the youngest of 6. I remember my mom cooking on a wood stove, making clothes, slaughtering chickens for dinner, churning butter from cows she milked, and making lie soap to name a few. Was life really simpler?...YES!

    Who was worried about safety back then:

    </TD></TR><TR><TD height=16 vAlign=top width=700 colSpan=2>
    This was the most elaborate Atomic Energy educational set ever produced, but it was only only available from 1951 to 1952. Its relatively high price for the time ($50.00) and its sophistication were the explanation Gilbert gave for the set's short lifespan. Today, it is so highly prized by collectors that a complete set can go for more than 100 times the original price.​

    Note the Yellow Japanese tin Corvair Rampside in the picture.
    It is the Coca Cola version of that toy.
    worth about $600 now..............

    Original Aluminum trees like that are worth a few bucks too!
    Got any in your attic?

    Gee, I still have that yellow dash board toy, and in the lower right that is a motorized Japanese Tin Thunderbird convertible, has a wire and controller with a steering wheel on the controller. Pull out the tailpipe and the convertible top will go up and down. I still have mine!

    When we lived in Indiana there was a period when my mom didn't work. She sewed all my clothes. I can remember how excited I was when I got my first shirt with a label in it!! :cool:

    LUXURY!!!!

    we had 8 kids living in a shoebox in the middle of the road.
    My dad woke up every morning 20 minutes before he went to bed so he could work his three jobs.
    Of the 8 kids only 4 of us could go out at a time because thats all the clothes we had.

    Man those were good times.
