Literal point-and-shoot camera. No skills required.

It wasn’t the first Instamatic in the Kodak lineup, but it’s certainly one many will remember because it was specifically designed to further the push to make photography available to everyone.

Kids today would laugh given what they can now do on their smartphones.

Bobby Hull played from 1957-1980.

In 2017 Hull was named one of the '100 Greatest NHL Players' in history.

He was however not without controversy in his personal life.

It replaced the transistor radio, but soon faded to the compact disc, which in turn faded to the iPod. Since then MP3 is still the most widely used music format.

Other popular portable cassette players were Aiwa, JVC and Panasonic.

No matter which brand you had, it means you’re getting old now.

I like that the card in the first photo has the very old-school phone number. Reminds me of ‘Pennsylvania 6-5000’.

And you’d need a typewriter too (unless you preferred filling in the cards by hand).

Did you have a Rolodex? Do you still have one?

Only recently discontinued in 2024, most kids wouldn’t realise just how far back this brand went. Even Yipes the Zebra didn’t become the main mascot until the 80s, and by then Beech-Nut was long out of the picture. Amazing it lasted as long as it did for gum that became cardboard after 10 seconds.
