Default Remember the 50s

A quick link to some scenes you might reflect on …. hard to imagine this was only 25 years or so after the Model A era. Enjoy!

The x-ray glasses and sea monkeys were a scam. But one, you wanted to believe in. Jeff

Wonderful memories for those of us that were lucky enough to have grown up in the Fifties & Sixties.
Oh, how I wanted a pair of those x-ray glasses. I was just getting interested in girls and wanted to see what all the fuss was about.

Great memories. A few of the later than the 50's (or 60's) tho.

Remember getting an arrowhead whistle that glowed in the dark from some radio cowboy program, which one I now forget. Man, that was cool. All my schoolmates were envious.

My X-ray glasses worked, but I had to give them away because I got slapped so many times by the women.

Remember "Whirlybirds" the TV show?

For the right number of box tops from the right cereal box you could get one...

I never did though..

But I'm still looking!!
