BFGirl Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 The "Kotton Kandy" machine for $9.98 would have been fun! Being the geek that I am, I put that price into a inflation calculator and today is would cost $102.83. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kash Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 (edited) Well I love those space saver racks for over the toilet and for $4.99 I’d have to get one. I also am in the market this Cheistmas for a couple bicycles. So I love the $29.98 20” bike! Edited October 31 by Kash 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanyon71 Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 You know on second thought if I can get ALL that stuff brand new in the box today for those prices I will take the whole ad. Should be able to make a mint on eBay. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjredsox4 Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 I like the ride on fire engine for $14.98 and the battery operated road race for $9.98 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanShotFirst Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 I'd have to pick the bicycle for sure! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giz Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 My older brothers had a similar battery operated road race that brings back great memories. I'd go for that again or the Kotton Kandy Machine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigglegabz Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 my favorite deal is the projection screen sale for $11.00! this is fitting because it would go great with the projector i’ve currently own, rather than using a white sheet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcwalker Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 I am going to go with the Samsonite Vanity for $19.95. I was four years old when this ad came out. My mother had one of these small pieces of hard luggage, which she referred to as a "train case (the common term of the time) for many years. It had trays for cosmetics and other personal items for women, and I believe a mirror inside the lid. During earlier days of train travel, women would check their larger luggage, but keep this handy for use during the trip--thus the name "train case." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illinoismom Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 We would love to sit and watch these all the time, Till the camcorder came out. which was huge back then. Oh the memories. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msyves Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 It’s the cotton candy machine for me. What’s a Christmas without some type of gift that’s about making some type of dessert. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinkrbel Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 I like the Amazing Giant Sonic Robot, gives me Doctor Who Dalek vibes and I'm missing the old episodes with Matt Smith and David Tennant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buxton.nc Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 The Amazing Giant Sonic Robot for $5.98 looks like it would have been a fun toy to play with at that time. I find the ad interesting that all of the illustrations appear to be sketches or renditions of the products being advertised. I wonder if there was a lot of let down once you seen the products in person. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packratfamily Posted November 4 Share Posted November 4 I was going to say the camera. After all it comes with film. But I think I would go for the robot. The dogs would love to chase it around the room. I had to laugh at the hanging clothes rack. I have an old one downstairs near my washing machine -it’s probably that old too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucyismycat Posted November 5 Share Posted November 5 That cotton candy machine - which I am certain I have seen at yard sales even in these days, or that robot. I wonder how many items from our current Black Friday ads will still be around and working 62 years from now! (Probably not as many as the ones from this ad) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesusluvu Posted November 5 Share Posted November 5 A dresser for $5.99 and back then it probably was solid wood. I think I would go with the 43'' rideable firetruck. It would be worth about $ 800 today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariahA Posted November 5 Share Posted November 5 That ridable Fire truck or the American Flyer train would be my kids' picks! That $5.99 chest of drawers sounds great to me. My preschooler's dresser broke and trying to find a reasonable price on a used or new one has been a bit ridiculous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFAddict716 Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 This made my day! The "update-to-date globes" for $5.99 was my favorite! They are no longer a common Christmas gift or Black Friday item for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a big deal because he was not in charge of the shopping! I loved that globe! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
