    1. Sorry about that. I don't know what I did to post that prematurely.
      I was saying:

      25- In the olden days, you could mail order a firearm and have it shipped to your home without filling out a Form 4473. No fuss, no muss.

  2. i'm glad to be old enough to remember all of this except the milkman. he may have come after we went to school, HAHA.
    saturday morning cartoons till 10 then outside who knows where till dark, come home skinnint up and with enough dirt on us to plant a garden,
    if you missed growing up back then. then you have truly missed out on a lot of fun and a real world education. it was good to me. i seldom if ever see kids outside playing now, it's sad what they are missing.

  3. Anyone remember ordering stamps for your collection on "approval"?

    Here's a company still in existance I bought stamps from in the 1950s.

    Then there were the Gilbert chemistry sets that had chemicals that would be banned today

    1. Yes, I collected stamps. It is a dead hobby now and if you have any mint stamps they didn't appreciate one cent. I pulled out my box some years back and am using them for postage now. You can even buy them on-line at something like 1/2 of face value and do so.
