Oh hell yes! Take a hammer and smash!
We always had cap guns and these were a cheap treat.
cheap treat.
I seem to remember being able to buy boxes of the cap rolls for about 5¢ a box in the 1960s. Back then cigarettes were around 35¢ a pack. Mom would cash a $50 check, buy all of the groceries, cleaning stuffs, etc, for the week, have enough left for my school lunch, dad's pocket change for coffee/etc at the local coffee shop, pay the milk man and anything else that popped up like kids asking for donations for various clubs and teams. Multiply that by about 15x for today's average family.
$50. Life certainly seemed to make more sense back then.
