he opened a medicine bag please contact local natives to handle the bag. No one was allowed to open another's and when a warrior died, the bag was buried with him. To lose a medicine pouch signified a man had lost his “medicine” and he faced great dishonor and was ridiculed in the tribe. It also meant a bad omen for the future.

In the 60s gas stations were full service. In 1964 unpaid $.25.9 a gallon for gas. They washed windows and lights, checked the tire pressure and fluid levels. She I paid for gas I'd get green stamps and a choice of a towel or glass. More than once I got all that when I spent less than a dollar for gas.

[@pamelalaub6204]

My MIL bought us muslin full-size sheets with green stamps for a wedding present. That was despite us telling her we were putting our twin beds together to make a king size bed. She'd carefully cut out the green stamp label so they considered it to be opened and wouldn't take it back. The game is croquet. Crochet is what was done to make doilies.

H&S stamps were given to you as a customer for amount purchased and could be traded for different kinds of things. I have gotten sets of dinner wear, Pans and just all kinds of things. Just a way to get back. My Mom collected them when I was a kid and when I was a young married I still could get them and it was a nice little deal to get something special. Many stores and pharmacies gas stations had them. I collected them all. We are talking back in the early 50's into the 70's or later. Sometimes I let the kids have them to get something they wanted in the catalog.

I know the stuff is old, and I know I'm old... but historical, vintage,there are many words that mean old. History explains why people save the things you don't see reason for. Anyone who lived through a depression, having limits to sugar, stamps, straws,etc.saved what they could. the s&h green stamps were essential. you uncovered enough for a good housekeeping mattress and more.

My question is why do you open up all that stuff and just leave it sitting out it’s a potential to knock it over and then have to pick it all up and make a mess when you can just put it back in its box and put it in the truck instead of leaving it on your table in the way just asking

[@yumikodebold6197]

I love the old jars ❤️

[@marthasarmiento4445]

Wade said that the women showed great interest the last time they sold some. It's cuz it's getting harder to get them from the store. I heard on the news the other night that we will be having shortages at the stores for products in glass jars as because the things needed to make the glass is harder to get. Now I know why the Mason jars have been in short supply. That and the fact that more people have been canning their own produce since the virus and the word got about the impending recession.

Those banana boxes are very sturdy & collectible. My parents had those exact 1950s/60s end tables in the 1960s and the blue & white Currier & Ives dishes. They are collectible. My Mom got a dish with every bank deposit. When banks had incentives to get people to deposit their $. The whole set of dishes would be some $. I can't believe they paid on unit for 17 years on it. If the unit is an average of $75 a month (average cost in 2005) for 17 years that is $66,000 dollars. The stamps books are grocery stamp books=$. They gave you stamps every time you bought at the grocery store. Once your book is full, you could get items or discounts on your next grocery bill. 1960s and 70s thing. The Brady Bunch had an episode where they saved up their grocery stamps to get their tv I believe. Red formica table and chairs is a good find. 1950s.$
