Smitty, just last week one of my neighbors took down the 'Channel-Master Rotor Antenna' when they were re-shingling the roof. That had to be an early 60's rig....
I even know where there is a 16' diameter dish from the early 60's. Makes a great spider web now....It looks like an abandoned Military Satellite Tracking dish.
Welcome to the next century.....
Add Hogans Hero's to the list...and already mentioned the Little Rascals.....man, those guys did NOT embrace life as adults......drugs, booze, too much money even back then.

I was only knee high to a frog back then, but I'm pretty sure Halo was amber colored and came in a clear glass bottle.

After further review I don't ever recall that bottle, what did it taste like? :drool:

Ha ha I remember going to the barber shop every 6 weeks or so...nervous as heck as there was always a group of old timers a 2 barbers chain smoking. Had to put the booster PLANK across the arm rests in the chair and the barber would foot crank the chair about twenty times until my forehead was in the mirror and the ashes from his TAREYTON char"coal" cigarette rolled down my back! :funny: The shelf infront of the mirror was peppered with Vitalis bottles and the worlds longest combs standing in blue liguid :fear: I loved watching them shave a blood donor with the straight razor. It took an hour to cut my hair and another hour for my little brother...had to watch the Mike Douglas show and Merv Griffin, the dentist was more pleasant! :funny:

Then he might have used "Old Spice" after shave, too. :D

There were only a handful of products for Men in the 50's and their TV ads seemed almost non-stop. It was pretty much just Brylcream, Vitalis, Old Spice, and later on in the 60's, "Right Guard".
