Since I have been watching American pickers, I have begun to fall in love with petroliana and other Americana.
I have wishful pipe dreams about a man cave of my dreams with all kinds of that Americana in it, and all restored to working order, so that i could and would actually use it.
I figure, if it doesn't get put to use, what use is it ?

I'm old enough to remember cassette players in cars used for adapters to plug in your portable CD player.

My allowance was a quarter ever week. I would promptly spend it at the corner store.
12 cents for a comic book
12 cents for Twinkies
1 cent for tax.

adds up to kid heaven.

I remember school stopping and all the kids crowded around TV sets to watch the moon landings
I remember thinking Pong was High technology
I remember having only 4 channels, and having to get up and manually changing the station.

AND I WAS GRATEFUL!

I remember Johnny, the milkman. Our house had a "milk chute" which was just a cubbyhole built into the house where he would drop off the full half-gallon bottles with the paper "cap" and pick up the empty bottles.

I remember the super heavy cardboard beer cases. We'd take out the bottles and the cardboard sectioning and use 'em to pack stuff in for Boy Scout campouts.

Riding in the back of a pickup truck.

Shoes with pointy toes and the laces off to the side. Nehru jackets. White belts (this came later, into the 70s).

   I remember my buddies and I pumping gas up into  a clear glass container at the top of the pump so the correct amount could be dispensed via gravity into the 40s something cars.



Those type of gas pumps were before my time, but I think there is something in that picture they need to bring back.  Show the price of gas, and then show the tax amount.

Cigarette vending machines.  I think they were $1.25 a pack.

The reason my dad quit smoking was because a pack started costing $1.

As to the OP's question...I was 3 months old when this happened:

  I used to put 2 dimes in a cigarette machine and get a pack with 3 shiny new pennies in it . I always swore if they went to .50 cents a pack I'd quit . I was spending $100 a week when I quit 9 years ago.

I buy these for $9.17 a carton at a local store.

The blue pack reminds me of some HAV-A-TAMPA(?) jewels cigars I used to smoke.

I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed, a democracy in a republic, a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies.
