Tom Thumb Cash Register

Tom Thumb Cash Register: I had one of these when I was a kid. My sister and I would play "store" and would ring up our grocery items with it. It was pink like the one in this photo and the amounts regularly got stuck so you had to push them back down with your fingers. Still had tons of fun with it!

I'm not sure what year they were released but I'm guessing sometime in the 60's.

1976 Cap'n Crunch Cereal Commericial

Here's a classic 1976 commercial for Cap'n Crunch Cereal...

I loved getting "prizes" inside cereal boxes... even though they never turned out to be as neat as front of the box suggested!!

Mr. Belvedere

Mr. Belvedere ran on ABC from 1985-1990. The premise of the program was that of a middle-class family in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, taking in an English butler after he emigrates to the United States.

The posh butler, Lynn Belvedere, struggled to adapt to the Owens household. The breadwinner, George (Bob Uecker), was a sportswriter. His wife Marsha (Ilene Graff) attended law school. The oldest son Kevin (Rob Stone) was a senior in high school, daughter Heather (Tracy Wells) was a freshman, and Wesley (Brice Beckham) was in elementary school. Over the course of the series, Marsha graduated from law school and started a career as a lawyer, Kevin left for college and got his own apartment, and Heather moved up in high school.

Little Golden Book: The New Puppy

The New Puppy, a Little Golden Book, was released in 1969.

Description: Johnny's new puppy is a lot of work. Johnny has to feed him and clean up after him. Johnny has to housebreak his puppy and teach him not to jump on the furniture or people. There are problems with Spot's chewing slippers and barking at milkmen. However, there are times of romping and rollicking with Spot that are worth all the effort. Lilian Obligado's illustrations, especially of Spot, are darling.
