Scotch Glasses From The 50s

These glasses are so unique looking for those who love the golden age!

This box consists of a couple glasses and they are all small. They can fit a nice enough alcohol and you can see through it as well.

These whiskey glasses come in a big cardboard box and has a nice print on it. The box is recyclable, which is good for the environment and you can enjoy a nice glass with some friends.

My friend has some of these glasses and she loves to host parties consisting with them. It reminds me of the time she invited her boyfriend over and he fell twice. I felt bad for him.

Bad Boys in the 1950s

These type of men/teens were the most idolized people in the 1950's along with some celebrities. One celebrity in particular that had the bad boy style and his name was James Dean.

Back in these days what was the disturbance, was he talking back because he had to stick up for himself or was it because he was protecting someone else? Some reports were very unjust and plain unfair in my opinion. The reason he was accused of this was because be refused to leave and enter from the rear bus as Jim Crow wanted him to.

Even though many eye witnesses reported that the shooting was unnecessary, the officer faced no charges. After this many people were outraged over how this all went down and set the stage for the...

Blue and Red Word Search Book

This is an awesome booklet for those who love the 50’s! It has many pages to keep your brain busy by searching for words with just your eyes. I noticed that is has yellow wording and an arrow indicating to open the book. The front page has labeled the 1950’s on it and the author has made sure to put their name on it. At the top right corner of the red/yellow square you see a star shape. My sister loves to do crossword puzzles and she has a collection of them in her closet. It reminds me of seeing her use them at her doctor’s visits.
