I was thinking back to the early 1950’s, and I could recall a few of the items listed above, such as the record player or as it was known then as, the “Victrola” record player” that many family’s had at the time.

We had the 33 rpm records and 78 rpm If I remember it right, that was played a lot the 45 rpm records that were very popular at the time of early rock and roll. The telephones were in black and in my area named and sold by “Ma Bell” Telephone Co. Over the years more colors were available, the Auto’s were I think the most classic that were ever made! What style they were! And still beat the Autos of today.

And it’s true that the girls wore dresses very stylish and they wore those poodle skirts that were the style at the time, with a scarf around the neck, the boys were required to wear a tie to class and if you didn’t have one, the teacher would always had a extra one to hand out.

Woman and men’s shoes were very stylish at the time, girls didn’t wear those kinds of hats that I know of, they were more for social affairs and such, I do however recall those Stool Chairs at my relatives home whenever we paid a visit but we never owned one. I don’t remember much about the lamp styles I guess kids don’t think that way, but over the years I have seen many of the styles from that decade and they are very cool!
