      We had a few of the Weebles sets, loved them so much! We had very few toys when we were kids, being fairly poor but weebles and Fisher Price family sets (school house, farm etc…) were toys my parents got us for Christmas and Birthdays (along with tinker toys and Lincoln Logs). We got $1.00 for allowance each week and I would always get a matchbox car from the drugstore after Church. It was fun being a kid back then. (born in 66’)

For years I'd look for a Raggedy Ann, but they were always too expensive in antique stores. Finally in my late 30s, I was going to buy an ornament version in a thrift store when I turn around and there's a hand made Raggedy Ann for 10 dollars. You bet she can't home with me.

I also had a View Master and would spend hours looking through it. I had a reel of Disneyland features. One of them showed a futuristic display at Disneyland that was sponsored by the aerospace plant, McDonnell Douglas. Interestingly, I married a rocket scientist whose first job after college was McDonnell Douglas. MD is no longer, and that display is no longer at Disneyland. I have a 36 year old daughter whose favorite toy was, and still is, Hungry Hungry Hippos.

    Big yellow metal Tonka trucks in a sandbox or back yard was great! Barrel of monkeys and plastic pickup sticks was always fun. Really liked my cowboys and Indians plastic soldier sets. Not action figures just molded plastic figures and you got different backgrounds and or accessories with them. Speaking of cowboys let’s not forget cap guns that looked like real firearms and shot caps and could smell the gunpowder and see the smoke.
