Not exactly a high tech toy, but it kept me amused
I’ve been re-living my childhood via ebay recently. If I had the money, I would purchase every toy I had as a child. It seems like everyone of them is there. I often wonder how some people manage to hold onto these things. We had five kids and a lot of toys around, but nothing survived.
I have been picking up little odds and ends that seem to put a smile on my face. Running a business called Blast From The Past is probably a good tip off that I like the “old days”. I am still quite aware of the present day and do enjoy modern things. In fact, I hear those moving picture shows even have sound now.
I’ll bet that’s quite the thing to see!
It’s amazing that technology can hook us up with toys from our childhoods. I love the photo you posted. I never had that particular toy, but there are many it would be fun to check out again. One of my favorites was the Barbie doll camper. Something that was unique and could not be found on ebay is my collection of Barbie clothes hand knit or sewn by relatives. And then there are toys that are still manufactured today, mostly board games, which are easily obtained but still not the same as the original. My father had a toy from his childhood that we loved to play with – it was a 10 foot long hand carved wooden bowling alley with carved pins and balls. Thanks for sharing your stuff and making me think about mine.
