Well, I think I must be Older than Old Dirt... I can remember and probably had 100% of the things mentioned...

I don't know if the "BUTTON" on the dash to start the car qualified as an Ignition Switch...

Black Jack Gum (if I remember correctly ) tasted sort of like Licorice.

And our TV antennas were called rabbit ears and were on top of the TV.... I or my siblings were the Remote... although there were only 2 channels... lol

When we got our first TV set, the only programs that were on were wrestling, with Gorgeous George, and Antonino Rocca...and of course "Uncle Milty" Milton Berle. The signoff symbol was a side view of an American Indian with the circles and dots all around him. We had a 10 inch screen with rounded corners. We also got a piece of plastic with different horizontal colors to simulate color tv. And s magnifier screen to make the picture larger. Oh yes, those were the "good old days".
