How 'bout nickel ice-cream cones?

Camel cigarette sign that blew smoke rings...

Sarsaparilla soda in tipi-top shaped cans...

Begging for Thanksgiving...

Paper cap exploding feather bombs. (Two small cups the fit together. Put cap(s) in the bottom; the top was weighted with lead with a couple of 2-inch feathers sticking up. Throw it down on the sidewalk, and the top would explode thirty feet up. I got hit in the cheek instead of my eye...)

Sidewalk scooters made from a wooden crate, one roller skate and a 2x4.

Fleer's Bubble Gum

Chemistry Sets. (I got one!)

Getting a dime from the grocer for a can of used bacon fat.

Radio that was a piece of furniture, with a Magic Eye.

Yep, I remembered all 17. Wasn't that long ago, or was it? Hated Black Jack gum. Never did like licorice. I preferred Beeman's or Teaberry.
Walt, they still make Kents, but they aren't American owned anymore. Smoked 'em for close to 50 years. Remember when Harley Davidson put their name on a pack? I bought a few cartons. First toke I knew it was made by Kent (Lorillard).

Merry Christmas to all of you. Each and every one of ya's are dear to my heart.
