Things that you just don't see anymore.

Not quite that expensive and I find they make grand birthday gifts to those born in October:

Sparrows. They used to be everywhere, cute litte round brown birdies and their affinity for dust baths. I haven’t seen one in at LEAST 7 years now. At least, not around Cleveland.

It’s like they went extinct or something.

Ah HAH! The lobby of my apartment has one. :smiley:

Amiga computers
Ipana toothpaste
TIPS for your breath (it’s still around but you don’t see it often)
Blue Waltz “perfume” at the dime store
Dime Stores
Psssst! for your hair (it was powder in a spray one used to “freshen” greasy hair)
Yardley cosmetics in that wonderful creative packaging
Candy cigarettes and gum cigarettes
6 packs of 32oz Coke in glass bottles (a heavyweight idea at beast)

<<shudder>>

I have reached the age of nostalgia…

Yep, I think they were phased out in the 60’s or late 50’s.

Yeah, I remember the stacks of cans in that little rack out at the gas pumps.

What I never liked about cans was that once you opened one, it was a matter of time (for me at least) before you spilled it everywhere, that’s why I like the plastic bottles.

TellMeI’mNotCrazy, pinball machines are getting harder to find nowdays in arcades, I usually see 1 or 2 in an arcade, if there is an arcade at all.
The collector market for old pinball machines is very strong, I want a Twilight Zone rather badly, but the things sell for $1200+ in good shape, so I may pass.

Given that Indian-head pennies were made through 1909, wheat pennies through 1958, buffalo nickels through 1938, libert dimes through 1945, and standing liberty quarters through 1930, I gotta ask… just how old are you?

(Although one does find a wheat penny mixed in with the other pennies from time to time…)
