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.)

There is another thread " Things you don't see anymore" not alphabetical. I think some people are muddling the two.

What is next. R or D?

"alphabetical" seems to have taken on a whole new meaning confused

Quink was made by Parker. I think I may still have a bottle of it somewhere.

Ink for fountain pens - Stephenson's I believe was the one of choice, in a glass bottle from 'any good stationer'!
