TV's back then were quite a luxury, so that first prize was quite a catch. In our home, our first TV was one my oldest brother built from parts. Had to do a lot of fiddling around to get a picture with correct vertical and horizontal hold, and peoples heads were shaped like strawberries! Color TV's were quite a riot - we did not have one, but I remember those in stores featured people that had skin colored either either red or green!

I would love to whip out that flash camera on Christmas Day! The clock radio is pretty nifty too.
Nice find. I wonder if a Mr. Potato Set was among the 160 prizes.
Thanks for the interesting nostalgia! I love the three bottle tops in the mail. I wonder if Wally’s filling station carried Sun Crest.
