My favorite old firecracker brand was Black Jack Pirate Brand which I purchased in 1968 for $8 a brick! Those were LOUD!! They were crimped on both ends and they also packed more flash powder than Anchor Brand or Warrior Brand. They were like small cherry bombs as far as power and punch went. Light one, and you can hear the sirens in the distance. 43 years ago today.
I bought my pack or Anchor, Warrior, Camel, and Black Cat in Tijuana in 1967. Save those labels!
an they say the old stuff isn't dwindling down. but little by little there still getting burned away an my collection becomes worth more an more!! burn away!!
Dave, could you give me the name of that torch lighter you are using? I've been looking for a good replacement to my old one and everything I get doesn't last longer than a month.
In the 70's I bought several bricks of Camel brand from Aztec fireworks which was located in Albequerque, New Mexico. As I can see here, they performed as poorly as ever. While they had very poor performance numbers-wise, they had the best reports for the few that went off. I was offered Circus brand, but did not buy, because I don't like to see history go up in smoke. I'd love to purchase some of these form you if I could.
I remember firecrackers when I was a kid in the mid 80's were much more powerful than what you can buy today. I wish our laws weren't put in place to protect the less than intelligent people of our country. If a guy is dumb enough to light one of these and hold on to it, he deserves to get hurt. The rest of the intelligent population shouldn't have to be governed based on the actions of the village idiot. Great video Dave, as usual.
Great video Dave. I love videos like this. I wish I lived in the old days... My great grandmother has told me m-80 stories that have made my pyro mouth water.
They are small because we are only allowed to have 50milligram(thats 50/1000 of a gram, or about 0.18% of an ounce). That law came into effect in the 60s I believe, all to "protect the children". It is just a nanny state law so the idiot politicians can feel good about themselves and justify their paychecks. I believe the old firecrackers in the video were from before that time, hence they are loud(the way real firecrackers should be).
Thankyou for posting this! I've always wondered how older firecrackers sounded compared to modern ones and you can tell there's a difference. I have a book about antique firecrackers and how the consumer market used to offer a range of sizes for them, some larger than 1-1/2" which I'm pretty sure is the max size for consumer crackers in the U.S.
communicating with fireworks one goes off all the others go off too

Hey Dave- The cracker wraps on the Duck Brand and Anchor brand crackers have a funny nickname - 'Old Man's Pajamas'.

You must save the labels, people collect them labels just like stamps they are rare and sought after.

I remember some of those old ones were extremely loud. The new ones are not worth buying, better to make your own.

The older crackers have a deeper booming sound, much more pleasant on the ear.
