Good flashback Stinky B.
Back in the 60's I couldn't wait to go to WW Arcade when we came to the city. 22 lr bullets were about 30 cents a box. The price of the 5 of diamonds spoon is interesting too. Because the Len Thompson company was still making money at that price.

And I remember WW Arcade having all the best firecrackers(not fireworks) for really cheap too. A brick of 500 for around 50 cents.

The original price stickers on these where between $1 and $2.
