...when my dog has to protect my honor from the panhandlers. Lost my speed in hand to hand on the street!
I'm in good company. I was born the same year as the Corvette, Cheez Whiz, Eggo, Matchbox, Peeps, Tater Tots and WD-40.
When I was born WW2 was still going on.

Ya gotta admit: Eggos and Aerosol Cheese have got to be the best inventions since sliced bread. I've never read the ingredients in Whiz, and I probably don't want to. I may have the wrong product in mind because I think cheese whiz was in a jar when I was a kid. But if you were ever single living alone after leaving the nest these were staples in many a guy's diet. I had a can of Spaghettios yesterday, and I still don't know what the meat substance balls are made from, but if Angel eats them then they're good enough for me.
(That Corvette would've been a much nicer Christening present than a lousy savings bond!)

I remember when a cherry used S&W model 10 could be had
for $40.
I'm so old that my childhood and adolescence were
in black and white.
I remember NIB Colt 1911s sold for $95.
I remember when Win primers could be had for
$13.00. Per thousand. Yes, I really stocked up.
for $40.

I remember in my teen years in the late 50s when good running used cars could be bought for as little as $50.

Old, Obsolete and Quirkish, my box of Quadraphonic 8 tracks!
I had The Who album, "Quadraphinia" on factory 7" reel to reel in stereo, I couldn't afford a Quad Reel setup from Sony or AKHI in 1975!

But that $40 may have been a week's pay.
A week's pay ( for most people ) will still buy you a new S & W revolver with some money left over.
The only reaason I went out and bought a Sony 7" tape, double speaker unit, was beacuse,
I bought a 7" tape reel by Dwain Eddy's, "Twisting & Twanging" and did not have a way to hear it.
Memories.

I'm so old I remember when the Dead Sea was just sick.
I notice people holding the door open for me. (Is 75 that old?)
Hell, when I was born Herbert Hoover was President. I used to open doors for the ladies now they open them for me. Guess I'm getting old.

You have me beat, I think, but I will bet not by much!
Velveeta was introduced in 1918 and sold in wooden boxes. Kraft stopped using "real" cheese to make Velveeta in 1953. It was probably still in the boxes during WWII but I don't know because we didn't use it in our household! Couldn't find an answer on the 'net.
Do you remember when there were horse drawn beer wagons delivering to taverns, or fruit and vegetable wagons vending door-to-door in residential neighborhoods? I do.
Proud to be one of the last of the "Silent Generation", born after/to The "Greatest Generation" before the "Baby Boomers". I think that in general we were very, very fortunate!

I bought a "modern", in my eyes, 1996 Firebird recently and was asked if I was going to get antique plates. Not sure if they were referring to the car or me..

Some I have noticed that make me pause: XYZ from the "last century" (1900s) being referenced and "oldies music from the 1990s".
Who remembers the Jewel Tea man?

Policemen and doctors.
I mentioned to my wife that policemen and doctors just keep getting younger and younger.
Her reply: " I don't think that's what's happening!"
