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

Roses, I can remember Moby dolls prams that made a noise like a baby crying, I wanted one, but never got one.
Knickers with a pocket in them, mine had some pennies in, so if I got lost I could make a phone call.

Rosesarered My daughter had one of those rocking horses. When she was cross it got bounced all round the room.

I have checked with Mr Google to see if I am remembering things from the right year. It is so interesting to recall all these things.

No Google. Just that whenever I look I have a different letter so gives me a chance to rake the old brain. Don't check to see if I am repeating myself.
