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.)

Alligator skin handbags

Drene shampoo - my mum used it and I used to pinch hers because I loved the smell!! Thought the packaging was luxurious too - fat little transparent cushion shapes with the golden liquid showing through...
