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....?

Wire seat cushions, TV Trays , steering wheel knobs, curb finders, Shake a Puddin, Fizzy Pops, sonic booms, http://www.funkyfoodshop.com/space-f...f419b32af.html those black cannon balls that were used as road markers, black and white road posts and clean mountain air. Thanks for the memories!
