Older than dirt quiz

I was at a drive in just a couple weeks ago, two in my area.

The only ones I don't remember are 6 & 8. Though, I wasn't around when 7 was in production, I do remember a few car nuts having them.

 

I will call it three I don't remember, so I guess I'm older then dirt. I'm OK with that, I don't want to be young in this society.

What's older than dirt, fossils. Anyone qualify or own up to remembering the below fossil era things?

• Sky King and my 1st love, Penny,
• Or 2nd love, Mouseketeer Annette,
• Captain Midnight and those Ovaltine offers,
• Listening to Roy Rogers or Lone Ranger on the radio,
• B&W TVs with mini ~10/12" screens and a refrig sized cabinet,
• A pack of smokes for 25¢ out of a vending machine & there were 2 pennies wrapped inside cellophane as change,
• fallout shelters, reel push mowers, cars with fins & vent windows, shoveling out your parent's driveway,
• Oh yeah, mowing the lawn or clearing sidewalk for widow down the street simply because it was the right thing to do,
• and finally my all time favorite, days when you didn't worry about locking your doors when no one was home.

I'm older than dirt! My mom drove a Studebaker. I remember all of them, just the fact that I CAN remember them should mean that I'm not that old!

We used to drink the coke from the wax bottles and then chew on the wax for a while!

I believe the blackjack gum was licorice?

How about shopping at "monkey wards"?

My first firearm was a 12 ga Wards Westernfield pump that was made by Mossberg.  Same as their Model 500.  I got it in 1970.

I remember when :

posted signs were an oddity.

new car prices were in the mid four figures.

the Watkins home delivery truck used to come to our house.

my parents 105 acre farm was bought for 8000 dollars (35 minute drive from Rochester).

I first broke the $100 barrier for my paycheck (and was living pretty good).

Sears and J.C. Penny and Montgomery Wards offered catalogs for their sales.

the main public entertainment in town was the monthly square dances and dinners at the grange hall.

theater tickets were $.25

Nobody bothered to lock their doors.

The Grange League Federation (GLF) was the sales point for grain.

I remember all of us sitting around the huge console radio listening to The Green Hornet.

And on and on and on.......
