My father who grew up in Chicago remembers them being $0.03 a piece, that was in the early 1960s. Everybody had a meltdown when the price jumped from $0.03 to $0.05.
When I was a little girl we lived on the southwest side. My father would get a couple of sacks of sliders and drive the family over to Midway Airport. He'd park near the airport fence and we'd sit on the car, eat sliders, and watch the planes come and go.
Sometimes we saw as many as 10 plane in a half hour.
