Will I need an Ovaltine Decoder
A color photo in copper tones of an Ovaltine Decoder. Per Wikipedia "The most well-known example started in 1934 with the Ovaltine company's sponsored radio program Little Orphan Annie.[2] The show's fan club, "Radio Orphan Annie's Secret Society", distributed a member's handbook that included a simple substitution cipher with a resulting numeric cipher text. This was followed the next year with a membership pin that included a cipher disk—enciphering the letters A–Z to numbers 1–26. From 1935 to 1940, metal decoders were produced for the promotion."

No, that's the Six Finger toy from the 1960s.

"Sixfinger, Sixfinger, Man Alive! How Did I Ever Get along with Five?" was the jingle for the commercial.
The colorful packaging for Sixfinger the most amazing toy ever. It looks like a finger but does all this: shoots a cap bomb; sends an SOS missile; writes with a pen; shoots a secret bullet; shoots a message missile; and shoots a fragmentation bomb.

Please take care of yourself.
Color photo of a yellow canary in a wooden cage in a coal mine. Canaries were used to detect odorless gasses due to their sensitivity to them. If the canary seemed in distress or died, miners knew this meant poisonous gasses were increasing. As a metaphor, the term can refer to any early warning that problems are occurring.

The photo is labeled "a 1960 classroom". I think you could easily find skeletons and ghosts in decorations then.
A black and white photo of a classroom from 1960s. The kids are costumed for Halloween. A cavalry corporal, a clown?, someone I can't identify, a kid holding a magazine against his face?, a fox, a ghost, a skeleton, a giant bunny, and the adult in the middle I think is the teacher.
