8 Newsreels before the movie
9. P.F. Flyers
10. Butch wax
11.. TV test patterns that came on at night after the last show and were there until TV shows started again in the morning. (there were only 3 channels... [if you were fortunate])

18 of them. That's a cool list - I also remember rotary phones, and we only had to dial 4 numbers for a local call. Also Rabbit ears on TVs and rooftop antennas..

@fun4us2b Right. Sometimes you had to rotate the rooftop antennas to get good reception. My grandparents had an attachment on their chimney that did that.

@exexec We did too - it was a Rotor, and we had a box in the house that my Dad would use to adjust the antenna to point in different directions for better reception

@fun4us2b Yep. That's what they had. Savannah was 60 miles away so reception was spotty.
