T...I suppose a loaf of bread was a nickel and you picked up lumps of coal that fell off the coal tenders along the tracks to keep the house warm too !!!

Re: Lets see who the old hands are in here
 

I think bread was a quarter? I used a wheel barrow to bring the coal in! My father owned a concrete block business and I would have to bring the coal in for the furnace to cure the blocks!
