All of them except this one. I do remember it but we didn't have to do that - We only had to dial the last 4 numbers - which compared to today, if I want to dial next door I have to use all 10 numbers

And that dialing only 4 numbers was still in effect up until the mid 70's as best as I can remember.

Studebakers? I actually used to own one!

I had a Lark

[Simon Templar]

I am only 29 and remember most of those. No studabaker, or glass coke bottles...pretty much everything else though. I grew up living with my grandparents though.

[designwise1]

I knew 15 of them. Some of you younger folks remembered more than me.
Either I'm not that old yet or I have early alzheimers at 38 (at least I think that's my age).

Holy crap! I'm as "old" as the OBDG!

[joed]

I am older than Dirt (scored 23) - but I knew that - Heck - I'm older than God (at least at Club Stogie)

[kvm]

25 I'm not as old as I thought! What was the question?

[daviddunn]

Well... I remember only two things from that list. Haha

Wax juice bottles, and candy cigarettes. =)

[taltos]

I remembered them all. Part of that comes from growing up in a country setting, part comes from being over 50. Getting old sucks, but it is better than the alternative. Paul

[stevefrench]

I remembered 23 of them. As for #17. Metal ice trays with lever, I still use one of them today. It's a little dented, but works great!

[sspolv]

Bah! I remember 11 of them and I'm only 18. The fact that we still have an old timey general store does help though. Mmm, Blackjack gum.

[Dogwatch Dale]

All of them except # 11 for me. $hit, no wonder everyone is starting to call me Sir! That's it, I need a cigar..... now, where did I put my flint & steel......
