Hi Fred and Cynthia :)
    Ok.... now wait a minute!!!   At 39 I still consider myself to be a
"young-un"! (even if I can't spell it right! hehe)

    I remember all of these but maybe one or two!  and even have done my wash
using a Wringer!  I also at the tender age of 6 (1969!) learned how to "prime"
the pump in the kitchen sink (yes I said Kitchen sink!) when you needed water...
As for the 45's?  um.... I still have a Thomas Edison record that is close to a
quarter inch thick...   And I was just reviwing with my Dad his collection of
"matchbox" cars that he still has in the boxes that are from the days before
Linsey (sp) became Matchbox!

   BTW, anybody know what a "Good Humor Truck" from Linsey is worth?   still in
the original box... never played with (it was to be used for a HO Train
layout... but Dad never got around to it :) hehe)

Art "I am not OLD!!!! hehe " Bahrs

or my mother's. Some were my grandparents'.
