50s Style pic Tube It even has an automatic brightness control for the pic, adjusts for room lighting.It appears to be a 24 inch model and the last before color.Around here Magnavox was very popular I used to see quite a few color combos,mostly round 21 inch models.I often wonder if they wont...

Great Fans When I was a kid in the 50s,my sister and I would go outside and sing through it and drive my mother crazy.We lived near the seashore and almost everyone we knew had a big Homart belt driven fan,that sucker could really pull some air through the house even on low.Those were such nice...

Hurricane 4 or Godevil 4 The WW2 Jeeps used a Hurricane 4 not a six,they were tough if you didnt rev them,I had one a 46 Willys I wish I still had it.My Cherokee a 91 has the straight 6 176,000 miles doesnt leak or use oil,Id luv to find a low mileage one. Bobby

Vienna Sausage I luved them,Kraft mac&cheese and fried Spam.I still have a can in the cupboard with a key on it.Swanson boned chicken sandwiches,I swear my grandmother could take one large can and feed the masses.Simple days!!! Oh and black cherry Jello,with real whipping cream.

Frogeye! The console has a almost like an eyelid over the round dial,from the top it looks like a frog eye.The earlier 52 and under were just simple boxes with knobs on the front of each corner.Flat top! The Whirlpool of that era was nicer,it had a console or raised back with a knob at each...

Frigidaire My Frigidaire is 83 years old,Ive had it 30years and never spent a nickel on it except for paint.That I did and it still works great,noisy at start up as it always has been.I do check sometimes to see if the wiring is OK and its fine.I treat it like all of my appliances I dont slam...

Soap Operas Talk about stock sounds,I remember as a kid every car on the soaps must have been standard shift and loud brakes.Was it guiding Light or Search for Tomorrow,Mrs Bergman stayed in the kitchen.
