That's the first year I went to the store by myself and only spent my own money. I'm not counting the years when I picked one out for a birthday or Christmas present, or when I contributed a little lawnmowing money to the purchase. That would push it back into the '50s.

P.S. - Edited to respond to "what year you all received the "magical wand" for
gun ownership~?"
That would be 1955. I liked shooting so much with my relatives that my grandparents gave me a BB rifle, wire wall rack and red metal box Daisy gun cleaning kit. I still have the kit, although the little glass bottles of bluing and oil have all but dried up.
I don't remember exactly, but it was probably 1967 or 68. It was before GCA 68 I know because my mother ordered it out of the Sears-Roebuck Catalog and it was delivered to the house in the mail or by the Sears delivery truck.
Bought for me with my money, 1994. Bought it myself with my ID 1999. In between I was in military, I'd just send $ home and have dad buy what I wanted for collection.
