The price of women's Guess watches varies from model to model. Their prices range from $75 USD of the Silver Stainless Steel Chain Bracelet Watch to $120 USD of the Yellow Gold-Tone Crystal Watch.

In the 1956, television brought the moving picture into people's homes. The uptake of television was enthusiastic and by the end of the decade it was estimated that over two-thirds of families in Sydney and Melbourne owned a television set. Over the next five years, television had spread to most other States. Television transformed the way Australians received information. It soon became Australia's dominant form of mass communication, taking over from radio and cinema and posing a challenge to print media.

Television transmitted ideas into Australia faster than ever before. Australia's awareness and experience of the rest of the world changed rapidly then Television exposed people to other cultures and world views and provided information that would play a major role in shaping popular public opinion.

The invention of the portable transistor in the late 1950s rescued the radio industry from the impending doom of television. Although its sound quality was lower quality than that of traditional radios, the transistor allowed radio to escape the limits of the home. Unlike television, radio could be installed in cars and be carried to outdoor locations like parks and beaches. Advertising and other forms of popular culture helped create an unprecedented demand for material goods.

TV dinners, TV sets, transistor radios, milk cartons sold in stores, hula hoops, are a few.

In the 1950s, the average cost of a vinyl record typically ranged from around $3 to $5, depending on the artist and the label. This was a significant expense at the time, as it could equate to several hours of work for many people. Popular albums from well-known artists often commanded higher prices, reflecting their demand and cultural significance. Overall, records were a primary form of entertainment, and their cost was considered reasonable for the value they provided.

Some of the best-known Beat writers from the 1950s were Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs, and Lawrence Ferlinghetti. They were known for their experimental, non-conformist writing styles and their contributions to the Beat movement.

Some of the most popular authors during the 1940s included Ernest Hemingway, John Steinbeck, Agatha Christie, and George Orwell. Their works resonated with the themes and concerns of the time, making them widely read and respected by audiences around the world.

In the 1950s the pedal bike had already been invented, and in current production - so it couldn't be invented again. There were several companies (Schwinn is one) that manufactured bikes back then.

In the United States I would have to say baseball was the most popular sport. It had been running strong since the 1920's. The teams of the 50's were huge. Take your pick... The Brooklyn Dodgers with Jackie Robinson or the Yankees, Red Sox, Cubs, etc. The NBA, NHL, and NFL/AFL were all around but none of which could compete with how big hardball was at the time. It's not called America's past time for nothing.

they would play skipping and chase games moast people would play hopscotch
