vintage toys

[pompier]

Well now I feel old.....

I had the same dump truck used in that commercial. Wish I still had it. While your average boy could break them, they really were tough, well made toys.

I love the old Schuco cars. I have a 1939 vintage Examico based on the 1936 BMW 328.

Not really vintage per se but Happy Halloween!

I have the 40 Ford unboxed. It's way cool, and has real rubber tires.

Found this neat looking tin car for $5. Probably would cost more but the
front engine gears were missing. It still looks nice from the outside.

Nice find! I like it! I am glad you go it and not me. I would be endeavoring to straighten it out as much as possible and probably ruin it.

vintage toy sewing machine

This little sewing machine which is about 4-5 inches, reminds me
of the big Singer sewing machine my grandma used to own.

This is an old sparkler made in Germany.

Felix the cat & Koko the clown are two of my favorite cartoon characters from that time period.

You don't know me...& I mean this in a positive way Mr. jamespowers

Many is the times I have regretted my actions in attempting to "fix" something...:eusa_doh:


I know better now.

I do believe the "sparkler " needs only the flint to have it working....but ...I will leave "as is" for now.
