When i was a kid we played with ...

I remember my first black eye which came about because we thought it would be a good idea to make forts out of the cushion's from the living room couch's and throw pecans at each other.

Or the cup game where you stack the cups and pull one from the top. Red solo cups now mean a completely diffrent thing then they did back then.

 

Anyone have one of these? I loved that thing!

 

tetherball and four square...and had to be home before the street lights came on...lol

 

These-literally on display in the livingroom are the survivers of my childhood.
The first picture-the top row of Hotwheels are original '67-69er redlines.


then some '60s Lesney Matchbox toys



I also have several Corgis, Dinkys, Solidos, Johnny Lightnings etc.
It's a trip to be able to view the gems that brought you much joy and imagination so long ago.

 

I had the break 8 track. Remember the gas station that shot them out of the car wash? What about kick the can.

 

And this was my 1st 4x4

 

I had the EK Stunt Cycle.

 

Hell ya we dug holes to hide in during sling shot wars. we made the sling shots from trees the leather from a old shoe.

 

I found an old commercial for the Stompers. So who remembers these? If I remember correctly the blue Yota I pictured earlier was the actual one I had and even back that far is when my first love for a Toyota 4x4 started. I ahd actually forgot about these until this thread.

We were some hole digging mofos as well. At the end of the street, we always built "forts" or tree houses. We would build fires, or burn candles, smoke stolen cigars/cigarettes and look a dirty magazines. And yes, we did manage to burn off a sage grass field or two. It's a bad day when a fireman (or policeman) showed up at your house....

 

Had one of these too but it broke very quickly and never got another one.

 

YES! I had all of them! And yes, I do know what the stuff inside Stretch Armstrong tastes like.

 

Me and my friend used to stay up all night playing cards, yahtzee, or monopoly, plus we would build model cars/trucks and got really creative "modding" them.
