I remember all but

1. Blackjack chewing gum
10. Butch wax
12. Peashooters
22. Cork popguns
and I think those were mostly boys things, especially the last 2 or 3

And I'm not sure about
2. Wax Coke-shaped bottles with colored sugar water

But I used to collect milk bottle tops.
6. Home milk delivery in glass bottles with cardboard stoppers

I remember every single one, had personal experience with all but the
butch wax and party lines (as in political). I also remember Blue Waltz
cologne, "the new look", and wiener roasts over an open fire in the back
yard in town. And much, much more.
