I'm going to be ordering 'retro' candy later this month for delivery in early August. Anyone have an on-line vendor to recommend? I'm looking at this site:

Some things you can buy directly from the vendor, like Mallo Cups and Necco wafers.
But I have ordered from Old Time Candy. Download their brochure/order form for a full list of what they have. No problems with my order.
Just a word of caution on chocolates/soft candies: ordering in the summer can result in melting. I tend to order my stuff in cooler weather (Bun bars and Mallo Cups, in particular).

Sue, have you tried finding a local shop? It might take a little research, but I'm sure there's a shop run by an elderly couple somewhere near you.

Did you see the toy section? I'm going to have to order several of those. Thank you for pointing me to this site.
Ir's hot here, wonder if the dry ice will hold up?

You've redeemed yourself Matthew

One of my favorites was candy cigarettes. Traded a box for a real one and was caught smoking with my girlfriends in the girls bathroom at school--expelled for a week.

Maybe I should just shut up next time 
BlackJack Gum.
Clove Gum.
Parkers Nut Roll.(can get at Dollar Tree)
Actually, a good chunk of that stuff can usually be found at Dollar Tree, maybe not in the correct packaging, but the same stuff inside. (boston baked beans in a bag, not a box, that kind of stuff.)
It's pretty late for me to be up. I hope this one hasn't been listed already.

Here's the one I was looking for. It has the candy devideded by decade; not that I'm old enough to know what that means.

Oh my!
Matthew, I hope you're not that direct with all the women in your life or there won't be any left.

My brothers will be here in August. The three of us used to go to the penny candy store (actually it was a liquor store that also sold candy) when we were kids and thought it would be fun to have their favorites just for grins. I'm going to make our favorites of moms meals. We three haven't been together at the same time for several years. I can't wait! I loves my brothers
