That's awesome. Even though this was meant to be an ashtray, my mom always used them to hold our ketchup.
My 55 Chevy had gas cap behind tail light and I paid 18 cents for a gallon of gas alsoI am so old that:
I've dialed a black Bakelite rotary dial phone with no answering machine.
Recorded a song off a transistor radio onto a tape recorder.
Watched a black and white TV with less than 4 channels, and had aluminum foil on the rabbit ears.
Taken long walks without counting the steps.
And eaten food that I didn't take pictures of.
There were some more, but I've forgotten what they were....I may think of them at 2am.....
Wow. I was 2.Hmmm?
I remember Harry well. Late in his career, the Reds were in Chicago. The Reds brought in relief-pitcher Rob Dibble with a 0.00 ERA. Harry checked the stat to make sure it was accurate and then said "Nobody's that good, let's get this guy."When the vacuum tube that did the sound went out in our black and white console TV, we watched the Cards vs Yankees on the tube and listened to it on the vacuum tube radio. The radio game was much more exciting than the TV game! Harry Carry really laid it on thick. A player standing in the outfield was catching a ball hit without moving on TV. On radio, he’s running, he’s running, he leaps and catches the ball before going over the fence! Hooollllllyyy Cow!
And yhe next day you went to cats, I mean skags, now walgreens and test your tubes yourself, then pull a replacement out of the rack of tubes.When the vacuum tube that did the sound went out in our black and white console TV, we watched the Cards vs Yankees on the tube and listened to it on the vacuum tube radio.
