If you remember most of these things, you're older than I am...

I remember all too much of this. The only issue I have is that old camera. I was born right at its manufacturing peak.
And sugar daddies. Oh man, who can forget them? They still survive though..
That glue was so messy.
And some people would almost set their houses on fire, replacing those fuses with coins.
Yeah, I'm old.

My mom gave me a Toni perm 🤦🏻‍♀

Every last one of these I’ve at least seen new! Those cough drops were good 😊

Yeah I recognize most of them. 🤦🏻‍♂

Yes, 10 of them I do, I don't feel old

I remember most of them 🙂

You’re definitely right about them being older than you, those things look like there from the 40s

I think I have seen and used most !!

Yes, I confess. I remember all of that. Those were the days

Yeah I remember all of those.

I remember all that stuff.

A lot i do.

i know the library cards and the magnetic hair thing .. i'm amazed at the 5 year diary

Most all of them

9 of them

I'm very old so remember most of them.🙂

Don't remember some of them because they are specifically American, but the things in the top picture are familar.. They are inserts for 45rpm vinyl records - and the ones with 'legs' (as opposed to solid) were sometimes referred to as 'spiders'. I once asked for 'spiders' in a record shop - the assistant was a good thirty years younger than me, and so didn't get it. 'Have you got any spiders?' 🕷🤔

I remember them all,lol

I have a drawer with half of those things in it

I remember them all and I am ancient.

We're Old yet left with good memories of simpler times.

I got 11!

What's the top picture?

I remember all but two, and my house still uses those fuses.
Yeah, I'm a dinosaur.

5 things I recognize

I am not older than you , but I do remember the library borrowing cards and brown paper bags

I guess I'm a little bit younger)) 90s kid)

Born in 1990, we still had those cards for checking out books till about the mid 2000s.

At least in my school library.

All but 2 of them.

Yep, older than dirt. 👍

Maybe half of them

Sadly, every one of them!!

How do you remember them ?

I'm only slightly older than you and I remember a number of them.
I'm not sure if that's funny or sad.

I loved the Wooly Willy but I'm thinking that name wouldn't market so well today.

That's not the wooly willy's I know

Everything but that turquoise camera.

Some of those are American brands and I live in the UK so don't know them, but ....

Various plastic itemsIf memory serves me right those in the first photo were adaptors that allowed vinyl records whose centres had been removed for juke-box use, to be played on standard record players.

Cough Drops I suppose a British equivalent is the Fishermen's Friends - those have been produced for decades and still are. What I do recall from when I was very young, were an orange-syrup tonic fortified with vitamins, and called Minadex; and an also-fortified malt-extract called Virol .

Letters chart. My primary-school form-teacher used a similar letter chart for teaching "joined-up" writing. That was in the early-1960s. When I first learnt to write, in Infants' School, in the late 1950s, we used paper ruled with extra lines in a different colour, to guide the tops and tails of the letters, at that stage printed not cursive. (My handwriting was never good and is terrible now!)

The photograph also shows a rolled map. I don't recollect those in my schools, but we were issued with atlases. (I find my atlases help me understand world events both human and natural.)

Stationery items: Pocket and other size diaries, both one-year and five-year, are still made; as are address-books. So too, ring-binder page reinforcers and modern equivalents to that glue. I remember one adhesive sold in a very similar glass bottle with rubber valve / spreader, in fact hazy memory makes me think it was Lepages'.

Lamps? Are the things with threads and stamped numbers incandescent lamp-bulbs, the number being wattage? Most mains-powered lamps here have always used bayonet fittings but the Edison-screw fitting (as photographed) was normal for low-powered hand-lamps and the like. Or something else?

I don't recall seeing a Camera equivalent to the "Beacon" but in the dying days of flash-bulbs there was the "Magicube"; a transparent plastic cube holding four flash-bulbs. I think it fitted a small, basic camera holding a mechanism that indexed the cube to the next setting.

I well recall Lending-Library Cards and the date-list on a form pasted inside the book cover; although ours did not give the borrowers' names. The library staff knew who had borrowed the book, but no-one else did. I regret to say I've not used my local library for a long time so I don't what system it uses now.

How big is that Portable Radio? There was a bit of a fashion in the UK, in the early-70s I think, for tiny radios. Sinclair produced one not much larger than a matchbox. A bit of a gimmick really.

Paper Bag. What's in the paper bag? They have not disappeared! Indeed they are becoming more common as people shrink away from polythene ones. I recently bought groceries in a branch of the Booths' supermarket chain, and the two carrier-bags were both paper with string handles. My local bakery shop seals loaves and larger cakes in Cellophane but otherwise uses paper bags. Our local fish-and-chips shop issues the food in cardboard boxes and offers paper carrier-bags.

[Edited to correct a formatting error.]

Wow. I recognize all of those except the camera and the 'five year' diary. One of my sisters had a regular diary like this one, and she would lock it and slide the key in between the pages. Bad idea. Real bad idea.

Ha!

I remember penny candy, Hudsons, party lines, Arthur Godfrey, white bucks, How Much Is That Doggie In The Window, when *Annette was flat, x-ray machines in shoe stores, 15 minute soap operas, Paul Winchell & Jerry Mahoney, milk wagons and ice trucks pulled by horses in the city, on and on...

*Mouseketeer Annette Funicello was never flat 🥰

Noooooo I don’t know any of that stuff

They don't use cursive guides or fuses no more?
