Don't know how long we can get this game to go on to, but have a go anyway.In alphabetical order name an item you would see around in the 1950's ( it doesn't matter if you would also have seen it in the 1920's, ie, a tin bath, but don't include things from later decades ie, miniskirts.)

f77ms I remember kaolin poltice. It was my Gran's 'go to' remedy for virtually every ailment. When I had very sore cracked nipples while trying to breast feed my Gran slapped one on each boob (mine not hers!)

Olive oil in little chemist bottles. (For ears)
