The above five items are in my personal collection. I would be willing to sell them, although it is likely that prices have changed since 1991.
I am also interested in buying your old-time radio premiums. If you have any decoders, rings, books, or other premiums,
There may be a lesson in the fact radio's most successful and longest running soap opera issued more and better premiums than other daytime hard-luck dramas. The premium offers seemed to increase listener involvement with staged photographs that further dramatized the illusion that the characters were "real" people. Scrapbooks, family trees, photo recaps of the year's adventures added believability to the program and sincerity to the request that the listeners try the Standard Brands products being pushed.
