I hit the high number. To think, we have a farmhouse that growing up we saw and had at least everyone of those items at one time or the other.

I'm on 38 but my grandparents never threw anything out. If it worked they kept it.

Anyone remember the original corvair??? I have one of those sitting on blocks in a garage on my farm house. Taking offers.

Hah - Got them all!

I guess I rate as a museum piece myself - there were a few of them that even brought back some fond memories (like the Drive-in movies....). I remember being upset when the price of a bottle of Coke in the vending machine went up to 12 cents - that was almost half my weekly allowance!

All you young folks, don't judge - there will come a time when you "fondly" remember things that are ancient history to the next generations too.
