I hope they have Marx toys in heaven. Remco too😅😅😅😅

Loved this! But sometimes I wish you held the frame on the pages a little longer?

Their pistols graced many a nightstand 😅

American guns to revere

Literally lived in mine

Lili was epic

what's a semi made dress? You would fit and finish the dress at home/tailor?

Nice 😊

Is this publication reproduced ?

Cleaning out a cupboard today and tucked in back was the set of dishes my mom gave to me when I left home after high school in 1968. I knew she had got them with S&H green stamps so came to UA-cam looking for proof and found your video with a picture of the exact set. Thank you. Great memories of looking through that wish book.

If you don’t mind me asking did you sell it? I just fond 4 in my mother in-laws stuff brand new she was going to throw them away.

Yes!

In the 1960s it took 1,200 stamps to fill a book. You got 1 stamp per dime you spent, so to fill a book with 1,200 stamps you would have to spend $120. In the 1960s $120 was not chump change. I vaguely remember it took quite a few books to exchange them for merchandise. I also recall back about 1965 my church asked parishioners to donate S&H filled books to buy a new station wagon for the nuns who resided and taught at the school. I don't recall the model station wagon it was but they needed about 3,000 or 3,500 books to get that wagon. They were successful in people donating enough books to get the car. You could also redeem the books for cash. In the 1960s they paid $1.20 for a full book. As mentioned above, one would have to spend $120 to have the 1,200 stamps to fill the book. Therefore, the S&H program was equivalent to getting a 1% cash back on store purchases. Today, one can get 2% or 3% on purchases they make using credit cards. No mess of storing, pasting stamps in books, etc. In 1970, I worked at a grocery store (National Tea Co.) that gave out Green Stamps. I asked my boss at the time “How much does it cost the store to give them out?” and he replied “$62.50 for 25,000 stamps”. So, for every $2,500 customers spent, it cost the store $62.50, or, 1% of the sale price.

No doubt the vacuum this came with is still in use...

My 10th birthday...

I love this. The heart!

Remember my mom collecting S&H Green stamps when grocery shopping. She had a little booklet she pasted them into. One of the items she bought was a tall elegant electric percolator to replace a temperamental Pyrex stovetop coffee maker. She enjoyed having friends for coffee & the new percolator was a bit of luxury. We didn't have much money & Green Stamps allowed her to treat herself to some nice things.

That was my task on the weekend before we went to the S&H Store. We had a drawer in the kitchen full of the Stamps and I and my siblings updated the books before we're going to go shopping. There were things in that catalog we had... What a flash back.

Recently at a thrift store I bought a large box of trading stamps and booklets. S&H, Gold Bond, Gunn Bros, Top Value, and several others. I plan on making something like a shadow box (i think thats what they are called) containing the stamps and books.

I remember my mom and grandmother going to the "stamp store"! It was a treat for my sister and I to paste the stamps into the books. They would usually get some kind of kitchen appliance. Toaster, mixer, culinary set, etc. The offer was made but I personally never found anything in the store or catalog that I wanted!

We had clock number 7 at 3:02! 😄

i got bongo drums but didn't turn into a hippie.

Got my first Basketball in 1968 courtesy of S&H……..a Voit 🤓

I remember dampening sheets of stamps, and putting them in the books. However, I don''t recall my parents redeeming them for specific items. I do remember comic/singer, Alan Sherman, doing a song about Green Stamps ... [url]ua-cam.com/video/5LXl-T8qhKU/v-deo.html[/url].

So many posts of licking the stamps😝. We used a damp sponge.

I remember remember sticking stamps into books every Saturday afternoon. My tongue would turn green from the glue. Mom would give me a book and a half for doing this. When we went to the redemption center, I always got a stuffed cat toy.

Alert! This video is NOTHING but a slide show of images taken from the Catalog, No Narrative, No Captions.

my mother and grandmother used to trade their books with friends

I have a lamp from 1965 that was obtained by green stamps. I call it my "Green Stamp Lamp".

Mom bought our clothes hamper with Green Stamps, and I still use it.

My mom LOVED these. She would have us at the kitchen table glueing those stamps into the books/pages. She would get all kinds of stuff. ❤️

Slower... we need time to read and appreciate!

Mom used to collect those stamps and I remember both books of stamps and the catalogs.

😆 ᎮᏒᎧᎷᎧᏕᎷ

We thought we owned the world. None we loved would die. There's always be double features. Good tv on Saturday night.

Wondrous times golden and bright

I was walking home from school one day when I was a kid, and past by trash that was put out on the curb. There were two cardboard boxes of FULL books of S&H green stamps! I took them home to my Mom and my Aunt, I was a hero! I went with them to the S&H center and they cashed them in for a lot of nice stuff for the house! What great times they were!!

S&H had metal signs everywhere. Things seemed so permanent a d stable back then. They are all gone now. Everything is temporary now. Everything is in ruins now. It really isn't even the same country anymore. It isn't even the same world or the same kind of human species anymore. Everything is weird now. Good luck

The boy on the cover of the catalog looks like the boy from the movie 'Airplane'. I wonder if he liked gladiator movies?

Back in the 1960s, I was a “checker” summers at a family-owned Affiliated Grocers store in then “North” Dallas, Texas. That meant I took each item out of the basket, looked and spoke out-loud to the watching customer, manually punched-in the price for the categories of “grocery,” “meat”, “produce” or the dreaded “X” for anything that required a sales tax, such as soft drinks, candy, housewares, etc. Anyway, we gave Green Stamps. Each counter had an automatic dispenser that held two rolls of stamps: the 10-cent stamp and the new $1.00 stamp. We’d punch in the bill rounded to the nearest dime and the dispenser would automatically spit them out. Anyway, the store manager told me that a spool of the 10-cent stamps alone that might have been around 5 inches in diameter to re-load the machine cost the store $75 in overhead to attract customers. Back then, that was big bucks.

*Mom & 'Gramma' had plenty of those books...I still have a 'Lux' wall-clock that I custom-painted to match the '50's Look' for a big room in the back of my house to look like a 'Route 66' rental cabin* ___________ *Still have some of the 'Mel-Mac' table-dishes too!* ( *Not many, just several pieces that somehow survived and are STILL good* ) *Wish I still had one of my 'Texaco Tanker' plastic ships that had a battery-powered propeller that you could actually put in the bath-tub or kid-pool...you got those from gas stations* )

Loved S&H green stamps! So May great gifts!

The "exact date" would be 1940. Both of these station wagons - Standard and Deluxe - are from the 1940 model year

My mom used to let me have all the stamps. Then one day she took me to the S&H Green Stamp store and I bought my first globe with the stamps I collected. From there I loved maps and geography, grew up to be a mapmaker. Thank you S&H !!

A fun walk thru time. My grandmother collected S&H Stamps. I don't recall what she redeemed with them. I recall even seeing cars in some S&H catalogs.

S & H green stamps and Top Value. I still have 3 ceramic pieces my mom gave to my uncle, a large bull and matador ,Norman Rockwell Kid fishing and a chinese gentleman fishing. Stamps were fun ,they need to bring back Stamps and freebies.

Miss buying from catalogues
