I remember all but the stamp/coupon hicky-doo's. As a younger lad (I'm only 30 now) while trying to dial in air waves via foil cloaked antennae, I had a radio that had a dead battery (I mixed batteries). I figured if the foil could attract power, I'd try some crumbled up foil for a battery. I got a few extra hours of cassette play out of it :D

Looks like a bright-dimmer switch to me. Not sure on the stamps.

Correctimundo; high-beam switch. The S&H Green Stamps got me my first camera; Blue Chip stamps got given away at the grocery stores & gas stations too back in the day, but S&H had it cornered because they had alot more in-the-area actual places where you could redeem them.

Flip up the lid and put in a flashbulb; great camera. Then I had to haul the wagon full of pop bottles up to the deli to redeem those to pay for the developing. (This is pre-Polaroid shit folks.)

The Etch-a-Sketch amused me all the way from CA to Tejas & back each summer when I got tired of lookin' for Volkswagens to count or reading Stuckey's billboards...

We didn't do the freezer-pop thing 'cause popsicles were 2 cents and we had an ice-cream truck drivin' around the AO twice a day.

This is in the Comedy Zone because....?

Agreed. The dimmer switch on my MGB would sometimes go from high beam to off. Try fixing that at night:lifter.

Two for six and the ice cube tray. I'm still a FYG :D

I'm in my 60s so I know them all and played or used them all to include the tin foil reception enhancing gimmick. :munchin :D

Here I thought the tin foil was a no-no for use in a micro wave oven..........:eek: Shows my age I guess.........:rolleyes:
