Real steel lawn darts Knicker Knockers Steering knob/spinner that mounts on the steering wheel Race tracks of one kind or another everywhere Black and white TVs Ahh, the steering knob. My older brother (by 10 years) had one with a naked woman (think early Playboy) in it. Quite risqué for a teenager in the 50's. |

Products/businesses that have come and gone in our lifetimes. I'll start with a couple. Business--Parking lot Photomats. Drop them off today, pick 'em up tomorrow. Some were even better. Get them in by noon, pick 'em up after 5. Product--8-track tapes. Wow!!!! Talk about hi-tech. Never had one, I got the new and really improved cassette players. Did like the song you hit, simply hit a button and it would FF thru it and start automatically at the next one. Holy crap, amazing, how did they do that!!!!!!! 😁 Still have a ton of cassettes. I worked at a Photomat in Portland back in 1981...always fun to thumb through the new photos as they came in. Saw a few interesting ones...in particular a biker party that showed what would probably be incriminating evidence. Great spot to do my homework and get paid for it. |

Rockem sockem robots
Crossfire game where you shot ball bearings, supposed to be on the board but off you replaced the shooting with a much stronger one you could make a welt on whoever's got shot
Stingray bike with shifter mounted on the top cross bar. Add a banana seat that slopes forward and you have a recipe for a major nut shot.
Skate board and roller skates with skinny metal wheels
