Three Caps and three clips, interchangeable, of course. Manufactured in USA. Dry, Clean, Straight: Prop or Display. BIC STICKS That 70's Show! What is there to say about the 70's other than they thoroughly drained the 60's swamp and replaced it with a boat-load of geeks bearing the nascent computer programs which would eventually rule the world. Also, our Vietnam nightmare came to an end with a big "X" in the loss column. And, perhaps most striking was the wake-up call we got from OPEC when our gas pumps went dry and the price went from 32¢ to $1.19 per gallon (if you could find it). We were going nuts with anger and fear when someone called the Ayatollah came into our lives and forever changed the playing field. Terrorists (Palestinians vs Israelis, duh) held a massacre at the Munich Olympics, Airliners were hijacked, Patty Hearst was hijacked, and Kool-Aid was a quick way out of trouble. Nixon gave one last "V" for Victory, Carter ushered in our Bicentennial, Thatcher came on board, Bloody Sunday bled, The Pope was Polish, Ping Pong Played Cold War, Three Mile Island melted down, a DC-10's engine "detached" on takeoff, inflation hit 13.9% and "stagflation" was a new buzzword. SkyLab took orbit, while VHS beat Betamax. Jobs planted Apple amid Earth Day, Deep Throat, Roe v Wade, Women's Lib, Schoolhouse Rock, Charlie's Angels, Pong, Jaws, the Walkman, and Disco Balls. Elvis Left the Building, and Rapper's Delight arrived along with Mechanical Bulls, Nurse Ratched, Archie Bunker, Mork, Fonzy, Spitz, Nadia, and Muttonchops (not to be confused with Lamb Chop)! Plus: DNA, MRI, IVF, ERA, SNL, MNF, WTC, & WTF! Maybe that gives you a sense of the 70's being the S**T show it was for many. Unfortunately, what came next was even worse. Regardless, I always keep some 70's memorabilia on hand in my "That 70's Show" for the few stragglers out there still wanting to get on board: https://www.ebay.com/str/portlandpandemonium/1970s-Show/_i.html?store_cat=38704222017 We Will Scratch Your Vintage Itch Listing and template services provided by inkFrog
