1950's-1970's

Pertaining to the Consumer fireworks of the 50's through the 70's; did they have any 200/500g cakes and reloadable mortars..?

90-shot circular color and report cakes (every 3rd shot a salute) in the 70's that far exceeded 500 grams. I didn't see reloadable festival balls until the '80's.

I don't know what "they" had in the '70s but around here, the biggest thing we ever had was the "Super Giant Jumbo Cone" which was your basic cone fountain, but about 3" taller than the rest. Anything that said "Shoots flaming balls" on it was illegal in Montana when I was a kid, so yes I had a deprived childhood.

500 gr didn't appear until about 2002/03 - or should i say "legal" 500 gr.

I remember buying single shot tubes back in the 60's but nothing re loadable.

The #300 single shot comet shells back then were something to behold.
