I do not believe you can buy anything for a nickle anymore.
From the looks of this old trunk, it might have come over on Noah's Ark. It is not mine.

I died laughing. Came over on Noah's ark?
Remember those cookie jars that you could buy loose cookies from for a few pennies?
Now those were the days!

When I was a kid, you could get a two scoop ice-cream cone at High's for a nickel. Three scoops for a dime. So I always got two five cent cones, thus getting one scoop for free!
I like the trunk... How are you doing? I have my new website up. Come take a look.
Hi LV, I think a 5-stick pack of gun was a nickel when I was a kid. Love the old trunk... and your humor!!!
I think you are right....even a nickel isn't worth a nickel anymore! Thanks for sharing.
We were watching the movie "The Thin Man" (1934) few weeks ago and a man says to a woman, "Here's a nickel, go call him." I had forgotten about pay phones! The last one I used (I don't remember when) was a quarter. Thanks for the memory.
Really enjoyed your post. Can hardly buy things for $1 anymore!
Love the trunk...that's vintage...nearly decrepit! Great thingies!

really cool finds! I think you're right though - not too much to find for a nickle these days!
Noah's Ark...LOL! It is a cool old trunk though! Thanks for sharing these fun photos!
I absolutely love the old cigar box!
Wasn't there some old president many years ago who said 'what this country needs is a good 5 cent cigar.' ? (Those certainly were simpler times -- we need something more now!!!
I'm not a fan of cigars, but I love old advertising signs!
Some of the comments are making me feel like a little kid! A donut at Dunkin Donuts was 15 cents too. I remember candy bars for 15 cents, but we did buy penny candy, real penny candy, a full size tootsie roll midgie or a Mary Jane for just a penny. My favorite penny candy was Squirrels nut chews.
That was a long time when cigars were 5 cents. That must have been a pretty pricy trunk. Very funny LaVoice.

So true Lv, can't even buy penny candy either. The sign is so fun and that trunk, Wow!!

Hello LV, You are right, but you may find something good at a yard sale for 1.00. HA! The old trunk is charming but it looks pretty worn. a fun photo to share. I love anything vintage.
Have a happy day.
Love, Jenne
That trunk has seen younger days but maybe not all better. There is still some life left in it - as in all of us.
Sometimes it is on to new purposes and new adventures.
Wow, that IS an olden trunk that very well may have made the trip on Noah's Ark...hahhhaaa...
Happy Friday, dear one.

Dating myself here but I well remember cokes for a nickle...thick Hershey Bars for a nickle....Sat. afternoon movie for 9 cents and popcorn was a nickle...Oh, woe is me....I am sooooo olden. :))
You're so cute LV! That is an old trunk! We found an old wood one up at my parents house, with vintage tools in it and can't figure out what to do with it???
Happy VTT!
I love the old advertising signs! Very cool!
