Just thinking about Kitty Clover potato chips, and Hyland chips. By the way, how's your Edsel running?

It hasn't run since Dad parked it.



Its a good one.....has the Edsel 410 in it.....not some lame Ford engine.

Charlie’s chips?

They even had a no salt version too so people with ‘th beetus could indulge

The kiss of death is finding a product or tv show you really like.

Guaranteed to be cancelled or discontinued.

No salt for the beetus?

Are "Proto" tools still in business?

Got a coupla old ones in my tool box.

Haha! Thanks for bringing that up.

Never knew what it meant until just now when I saw your post and looked it up.

An old friend calls me and a buddy Gold Dust Twins every time he sees us.

Geno

Mom used to smoke Lark ciggies.

Old man smoked White Owl and Dutch Masters cigars.

Haven't smoked in over 30 years, so I don't know if they have either of those anymore.

Or Bull Durham in the little cotton pouch.

Geno

You're a hoot.

Travis asked me how much dope I smoke in a month.

How much for you?

Geno

PS, I no longer need the stuff.

The nigrahs here loves dem Owls. haha

Brown's Mule

Man I used to chew the hell outta Days Work, Brown Mule, and Cannonball. Would often get the two for one plug of Cannonball!

Day's Work and Brown's Mule were about all I can remember from SoCal.

Friend's dad called them "Chinese Candy Bars". We had a little neighborhood store down the hill from them, he'd tell his kid "Run down and tell Steve to give you one them Chinese candy bars, he'll know what you mean". Steve Chu ran a nice little store and had a coupla great kids.

Had friend's that dipped Cope, I'd offer them a chaw off a plug of tabakee and they usually turned away.

Geno

Funny pants aside, I knew there was a reason I liked you.

Geno

Bob, remember that night we boiled the water for that tea party in Bostin?

L/S/M/F/T = Lucky Strike means fine tobacco.

Or; loose strap means floppy titty.



Mecuricrome, is it gone? my bottle is getting low. Great to seal up a small cut to help stop the bleeding or to keep the dirt out.

...................... Or a Studebaker.......... Or a Hudson.......... Or a Packard. Or a Pontiac or a Plymouth or an Oldsmobile.

Maxwell.

Absolutely! Remember the thanks we got????



ZERO!!


ZILCH!!!

I learned my lesson!

Amazon has Crawford's Garibaldis, made with currants, not raisins, but excellent. Even have that kinda glaze on top. About $15 for 12 100gram packs. Come from England, so may take a week or so. Highly recommended!

Some of the fancy-schmantsy catalog stores carry them too, for about twice the price.

Ronco pocket pussy evolved into the fleshlight.

How about Ivory Snow laundry soap with Marilyn Chambers picture on it. Hasbro toy guns.

When you've been out trolling for hours for bluefish on the Chesapeake Bay in August, and there's no wind, even that skunk pee tasted good, long as it's cold.

Sing it over and over again...............Frosty Morn. Hot dogs and bologna..........place was in Clarksville, TN, and they'd buy cattle and hogs for slaughter, just as long as you got them there while they were still breathing.

When I was a kid, Charles Chips delivered huge cans of fresh potato chips to the house in a van on a regular schedule, and collected the empty cans. Do they still exist, and do they still deliver?

LSMFT
Let's screw, my finger's tired!

Grandparents ran a little country store three brands they carried that are long gone,
were Colonial Bread, Foremost Dairy, and Pevely ice cream. I'd give five dollars for a Pevely Brown Cow (vanilla ice cream on a stick with a chocolate shell)

Roman Meal bread.

Made for good may’naise sammiches.

Old timer / uncle Henry / Schrade knives. - the name is still around. Not the quality.

Yeah, I've run across them over the years when looking for the Sunshine ones.

I've yet to try them.

Geno

Bwahahaha

Before the big T aka Trane which my entire clan of inlaws worked at; they all worked at Frosty Morn.

Wife has a 3 fingered uncle, the bacon ripper thinger dinger eat them down to nubbs. haha.
My FIL worked the kill floor and the tunnel.

The wife’s granny worked the bologna and hotdog vats. Rooters and tooters.

Proto was bought by Stanley Black & Decker. My torque wrenches are mostly Proto. Have one Craftsman in-lbs torque wrench.

Another old tool brand is JH Williams which got bought by Snap-on. I have an old 1/2" drive JH Williams S-52 Superrachet that belonged to my grandfather. It's my favorite ratchet.

A few more old brands:

You are. of course, without equal.

I will be spending a night in Killeen in March. My step-son moved there. I will be driving around Lampassas on the way out.
Thank you Sir.

Happy Days dip

The Dollar General store in town had some Blackjack gum the other day.

I just had to buy some.

I liked Beemans too.

I actually saw some Black Jack Gum at a store the other day, no idea if it is like the original or not.

I saw blackjack, Beemans, juicy fruit, not long ago!

Schlitz, the beer that made Milwalke famous!

Falstaff beer...............gone, and soon to be forgotten by the next generation.

I think it could be reincarnated for the same hipsters that keep PBR afloat.

Internet I was reading said some company bought the rights to the name in 20-18 or some such and started making it again. Didn't look deeply into it to see if they bought the recipe too.

Last had some Black Jack probably a half dozen years ago...........tasted close enough to bring back memories.

Geno

Am I seeing things?
I coulda swore somebody posted up a reply to the Schlitz I put up that called Schlitz skunk pee. But the one I called Skunk Pee was Miller High Life, it tasted of skunk.

Actually I loved Schlitz until Stroes bought 'em out and they F..ed up the Recipe. It was [bleep] beer after that. That was in the late 70s. Anytime a bunch of Bean Counters starts messing with a good product they usually ruin it. Same thing happened at Winchester in '63-'64.

Bought a Woodstream Hunter Seat 9080, back in 1983. It had a saddle style hinged lid. It was light, quiet, sturdy & not bulky. I hunted Dove & Squirrel with for decades. It has been my absolute favorite. About the year 2000 I figured I better buy another for an extra. It took me searching E Bay to find some & had to pay a premium. But, at least I got it. That stool has been as important as my shotgun.

If anybody has one I would like to buy it.

If your hair is short and nappy, Congolene will make it happy!

Holey Crappolio,

Haven't heard that in forever

Watched the Walter Brennan vid, never heard the song, thought you were just funnin about the clods, or maybe actually had done it.

Geno

Fresca..............the version with Cyclamates.............only diet soda I ever liked.

Geno

Guinness. since 1759

My grandfather was foreman for the cattle outfit with the brand of the long X. It was a rib brand and covered of the side of a steer (cow).

It is still being used in texas today.

But that is not what you had in mind. But it is a famous brand.

Donagel PG. The PG denoted "paragoric", a morphine solution. That [bleep] would fix you right up if you were bad off sick like with the flu.

Thousands of workers in oil and gas walking around with a proto crescent wrench in their back pocket.

I remember the days when advertiser's painted the side of barns out along country roads to help sell their products. Anybody remember Milkshake candy bars? I haven't seen one in decades. As for chip brands, for us in the Northeast Ohio area, it was DanDee. We had Borden milk products down there too. I just saw a thing that Elsie the Cow no longer graces their logo. Memories from a bygone era.

Hello Gopher, we are in the same area. Don't recall much old time stuff up here I'm was a transplant from the south in about '91.

Remember “don’t cook tonight call Chicken Delight”. Had ribs to.

Remember the Burma Shave road signs? They always used to crack me up!

Oh yeah they still sell

Someone else may have beat me to this but...............Allis-Chalmers, Oliver (and later on White), Minneapolis-Moline, all brands of tractors you used to see around here, along with Ford, J.I. Case, Farmall, I-H. The latter are still around, just under new names now. Allis was a pretty popular brand around here at one time, and made some solid tractors. I had a "C" that we bought new in 1950, and it was used here for almost 50 years. M-M was never very popular here in this area, but you did see quite a few Oliver tractors.

Is Speedy still around? [Linked Image]

Hose too short?


Pump too weak?




Bend down low,

Burma Shave

The Think signs, some insurance company put those up.

Pepsi Lite

Tab diet cola

Grandma always had mercurochrome. Mom (the nurse) kept merthiolate. Merthiolate burned like HELL !!!!!!! Mercurochrome didn't burn at all. Grandma lived 2 doors down. Get a cut or scrape...…….run for Grandma's house !!!

both sold in arizona, the A1 is still brewed i think in tucson.

all you had to do is ask. i generally keep some in my truck. smoke one once a year in memory of my father, who liked them.

Is Flying Dutchman pipe tobacco still available?

my mother wouldn't let me sit on the furniture cause of that stuff.

i have a friend, that their grampa started the olympia company, gonna send that to them.

at one of their family get to gethers, a couple of cases of oly were produced. I went and bought some, currently being brewed under that label by somebody .

Actually there are still a good many products marketed under old brand names now but in name only. The original companies either folded or sold/merged, and the brand name and advertising logos bought too or sold separately and used again. It's common anymore too for manufacturers to make multiple products and/or certain product models for other companies with their brand name. Also many are owned by marketing only companies that job out all manufacturing.

Wilkins coffee

The commercials slay me.

Cactus Cooler

Banana Fudgesicle's were awesome. 1960's

I grew up down in northeast Ohio. There were still quite a few barn signs down that way back when I was a kid.

Olympia beer was supposedly made with water from artisian wells--- It's the water.

The commercials about "Those artisians" were funny

Double Cola
Tab diet cola
Bazooka bubble gum
Chocolate Soldier
Animal crackers (cookies)

Viceroy and Newport cigs.
Drive in theaters

Back in the 70's and 80's Oly was THE beer around here...Every logger,construction worker,farmer and hay bucker drank Oly..Surprised to see it disappear ..All I can say is "I did my part" to keep it afloat.

Griesedieck Brothers Beer.

Wow, I thought they went under years ago.


Buddy used to come back from Huachuca with cases of little bottles of A1.

Geno

Drank Tab for many years until they changed the formula & quit using Saccharin.

I still have enough Merthiolate to last me until I can no longer make my own choices.

Iron City brewery/beer
Ovaltine
Tang

I think my mother in law put this on her udders. I don’t really want to know. She asked me if wanted some for my chapped lips.


Ahhh no, maybe from a new can.

Found this in my Granddad's tackle box a few years back. He was a bit of a Jack Mormon, I'm sure he didn't just open grape Shasta with it.

They still sell that stuff. I use it on my bag.............lol.

Bruton's snuff.

Every glass in our cabinet was previously one of my Great Grandmother's Bruton's snuff containers.

Are the Watkins products still about?

We moved to a farm that had been there since the civil war (place was actually a civil war HQ)...

Anyway - the first time I saw that stuff was in the Cow Barn in a medical cabinet, that can must have been from the 60’s or older... and yep, it’s still around today.

My mistake,...they were Helme's snuff containers.

https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/37497-vintage-glass-snuff-jar

They still make these products too:

Accidentally broke my grandmaws last snuff glass. Maw had it here at the house when she passed and the wife was using it.

Sears

White clover salve

Bag Balm-- use it a lot in winter-- great for the hands

Packard
Hudson
Garret Bros snuff

Starter push-buttons on the floorboard
6 volt batteries
vacuum wipers
vacuum actuated 2 - speed differentials
Plymouth truck
Hudson truck, for that matter

We used Bag Balm by the gallon when we had our dairy herd. We always had nice soft hands but sometimes folks would ask if we couldn’t smell the mentholated smell. Yeah, we could smell it but couldn’t really do anything about it.

Heard of it never seen it though .
Staggering Mule was good - when the carry-out had it - you had better stock up .

Papa Joe Greasy Dick!

It's still made - but the can is red now... The stuff works very well, but the scent is, ah, a bit much....

There was a set of Burma Shave signs still up on a highway just east of me about 15 miles until about a decade ago..

I remember as a kid, men that still rolled their own cigarettes, and the little bags of tobacco they carried in their pocket, usually a pocket on their bib overalls. I've got a couple around here somewhere. I don't remember any brand names, but I can still see them smoking the ones they rolled............and yes, it was tobacco, not pot.

Had any old Black fellow that helped me in tobacco occasionally, and he'd roll his using a dried tobacco leaf and a piece of newspaper. Stunk to high heavens when he lit it up.

I've even got some of the tins that cigarettes came in back in the early 1900's. Chesterfield and Pall Mall.

The Herters catalog.

I have a couple of them.

I wish I still had one. The "Good old days".

Any brand of tooth powder.

Richard, I'll trade you one for a side of Iowa prime beef.............lol.

Not that BAD James!

Ah!! Bull Durham!

Legend has it that the bullpens in baseball parks were so named because many parks had an ad sign for Bull Durham on the wall near the warm up area.

Yes............and I even had some old Bull Durham advertising at one time. Let my brother have them.

There was also a Bull Of The Woods chewing tobacco............don't know if it's still made or not

I'll even throw in a genuine Kentucky country ham, and a can of homegrown green beans.

If we keep haggling James we might make a deal yet.

I remember buying Bull Durham pre-rolled smokes in a pack, back when I smoked on weekends.
