Just for fun let's look back at prices in the "good old days". I have no idea what years these ads came out but they amused me and I thought they were worth posting on this rather dull, wet day.

Violets are my birth flower so this cup set was a special treat.
ReplyDeleteI'm old enough to remember gas at 25 ¢ a gallon!!!
I had a metal doll house like that too. The tea sets and kitchen things bring back lots of good memories!
ReplyDeleteWow! Look at those prices! Thanks for sharing, it was fun checking out all the ads.
ReplyDeleteWow....those are some great ads! Love that tea cup and saucer too! So pretty.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing old ads like this! That's a lovely teacup! I loke the purple flowers!
ReplyDeleteI had a doll house like that too! I loved it so much. I sometimes think about how hard my dad worked to buy us things like toys.
ReplyDeleteGOrgeous cup today. My favorite color of purple so I especially like this one.
ReplyDeleteThose prices! I laughed at the 48C tea set. How I wish the prices were still this good.
Blessings,

This is the happy style of my childhood! I remember it was a time of hopeful breakup -
ReplyDeleteThis doll house is so nice. Today toys are different.
Hi G.M....Yes, it is amazing what the prices of things were once back in the day...I can remember a time back in school when a meat pie cost 10 cents from the School Canteen and a packet of toy soldiers were 40 cents. Those were the days! Best Wishes. KEV.
ReplyDeleteI loved looking at all those old ads - sure hard to believe those prices! Interesting about the "Noah layaway plan" too. This last teacup is stunning but then I am definitely partial to violets!

My sister and I had prams/buggies of a similar shape to the one shown in the ad for toys, but they were metal, with canvas or plastic hoods to raise up and down. They were blue and white. We used them a lot, parading our baby dolls up and down the street. Fun memories.
ReplyDeleteI love old adverts like these. And....I could use some KFC right now.
ReplyDeleteFun seeing all the old ads. Times and prices sure have changed!!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed seeing the old adverts.
ReplyDeleteI do like the teacup, lovely colours.
Happy November Wishes.
All the best Jan
Such a good selection of vintage ads. It is amazing at how things have changed through the years. Such a lovely teacup and saucer set!
ReplyDeleteBoy, I'd snap up one of those KFC dinner boxes...and the dollhouse! :)
ReplyDeleteNekkid kids selling jello!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting to see the ad for the doll house -- because mine was exactly like that!! I know where my parents bought mine from, but can't remember the name of the store since it was back in the 1960s! Wouldn't it be great if the Colonel would bring back those 85¢ snack boxes! Wow, what a deal that was!
ReplyDeleteI love looking back at old ads like these. Hard to believe the prices compared to prices today. I never had a dolls house but had the tea sets and little cook sets, oh and the cutlery set.
ReplyDeleteI looked at this yesterday...apparently I did not get to comment. I love looking at former prices. And also like to look up costs of then and now...
ReplyDeleteI want the doll house! So cute!
ReplyDeleteIt is so fun to look at old ads! Both to look at the prices and the items.
