I remember them out at the airbase in Walla Walla in the mid-60s, in the pilot's lounge at the hangars...

Same place I would buy the candy Chesterfield cigs. Man, I was cool, Orange Crush in my mitt, coffin nail in my lips...

Livin' the dream in the 60's... I think we were very fortunate, considering how it is for kids today...

I had a pair of these. So did my big brother. We killed each other with 'em every day, and we didn't turn out to be wackos...




Well, not him, anyway...

Candy cigarettes! Yes!!!

A real special treat were the paper wrapped chocolate cigarettes... Yup, good times developing bad habits as a child...

Cap guns, good clean innocent fun. When boys were boys... Sad what's happened to our society

And how to use. POTS
I still recall the first phone number I learned, but not the area code, cause we only dialed 7 digits. ( 5 in college but that was Klamath Falls)
Long distance could be hourly wage per minute, you didn't call long distance often.




Ash Trays - were ubiquitous.




The NIIN system had a standard - you had to drop the sample on to maple from a certain height and have it break into x number of pieces or less. NIIN is the military number system for supply - probably all of the GSA used some of it.

Show that to a millennial, they'd not know how to dial it!

I have a Charlie Weaver toy that still works. The only thing that is missing is top part of the shaker. I inherited this from my mom's dad. My dad's father had one as well.

I remember those... Brings back lots of memories of family get togethers and rumpus rooms replete with bars and pool tables...

I'm like a dog that saw a squirrel . . . .

I'll dig it up and post it later this evening.
