Yep. Five of them every time I’m short a nickel.

Who is old enough to remember what that
little three-quarter inch diameter round button
on the floorboard of cars was for?

Have one of these on each of my key rings and with my dog tags. We called them P38s. Found his big brother (about 75% bigger) which is better for old hands and tougher cans than C-rats.. Made in Canada...

Apparently, other versions of this on Amazon, etc. are called P51s.....makes sense I guess...

Good old P-38 that came with the C-rations we got during the 2 days of M-16 training at Lackland AFB.

I liked them much better than the new kind.

I remember both Coke and Pepsi selling their sodas in glass bottles --refillable bottles that you would save and return for a deposit--
sold in heavy duty wooden carrying cases.

Who remembers the time when pretty much in every office building
-- government operated or commercial building--
and retail stores, had ashtrays mounted on the walls and support columns of the building so that you could always find a place to knock off your ashes or drop-in your cigarette butts?

Smoking was allowed EVERYWHERE when I was a kid.

Dimmer switch. Remember starter being in the floor also. Three on the tree?
