15 Things Every American Home Had in 1965 (And Why They Vanished)

The house you grew up in doesn't exist anymore. The building may still be standing but almost everything that made it home is gone: the bread box on the counter, the milk box on the porch, the console TV the whole family gathered around every night. This is a nostalgic walk back through 15 things every American home had in 1965 and why they quietly vanished. The percolator, the S&H Green Stamps, the encyclopedia set sold door-to-door, the good china behind glass, the wall telephone with the party line, and more. A look back at the everyday objects, sounds, and rituals of a 1960s American home that a whole generation grew up with and never thought twice about. Which of these did YOUR home have and which one do you miss the most? Tell us in the comments, and share this with the brothers and sisters and cousins who grew up in a house just like it. #Nostalgia #1960s #OldAmerica #VintageAmerica #BabyBoomers
