S & H Green Stamps.  My mom would put them in a book, and when each page was pasted with stamps, she'd redeem them for an iron or vacuum.

@roxxy1  Thanks for that memory

How about glassware inside boxes of Duz and Oxydol?

Without reading all of them at this time, (although, I will be back, this was mountains of FUN!!!),

Oh my gosh! Mine was light blue, and installed for my 15th birthday! And yep, all one line. It was like having your kid's passwords and monitoring their online usage today! lol

It was supposed to be a surprise, but I was the only one home the day before my birthday, and the phone company called to see if they could come for the install a day early. My mom  was not happy to have the surprise spoiled!

I wish I had that phone now. What memories.

I still have some of these in my desk! And the pack of crayons from grade school that I had left over one year.

Our little country library still had the card files until maybe just 10 years ago! I loved that my kid got to experience that. 

And remember the smell of those files (card catalog?)? Like a good old book!
