Who remembers S&H green stamps
#121
I still have a milk glass fruit bowl, footed pitcher, and 8 matching glasses that my Mom got with green stamps. I also remember the Jewel Tea man and his magical truck full of things, and the aluminum kitchen stuff in boxes of oatmeal, 45's, and towels in the detergent boxes. Those towels were my Mom's guest towels and we better not even think of touching them! Thanks for the blast from te past!!

After I married and moved to Dallas, we also got Gold Bond stamps and Top Value stamps. My daughter still uses a table lamp that my husband and I got with trading stamps shortly after we were married, and I have several pieces of Revere Ware cookware. In fact my kitchen would have been kind of sparsely furnished back then had it not been for those stamps!
I'm Canadian and I don't believe they were used up there! That is very strange! Will have to look at all the posts... :?:
