1975 Zenith 9" b/w

I remember seeing a lot of bicentennial stuff for sale in the summer of 1975, marketers were getting a jump on it. Even many railroads would renumber a locomotive to 1776 and paint it red white and blue.

Even the US government was ahead of it's time. The US Mint was striking the 1776-1976 bicentennial coins as early as February of 1975, and they were released into circulation in July of 1975.
