      I agree, Ismael! In sixth grade I played marbles during recess. One day, I won the marble champion's bolder. I can still remember the stunned look on her face. It must have really hurt to hand it over to me. At the time, I was in the sixth grade and I was jumping up and down with joy. I don't know whatever happened to my prized marble. And even though I won it fair and square, if I had that marble today, I would give it back to her. :-)

    I had lots of these in the early 60s.fire engine,tric,bb gun,all kinds of toy guns and we never became killers! We sure had a lot of fun with the simple things.we listened to the radio a lot. we had some used televisions when i was a kid.But that was only because my uncle was a tv repairman.Sometimes we made our own toys.sure spent a lot of time outside and being active.I hardly ever see kids riding a bike anymore. My bike was my freedom.Got my first one from the town dump.Never been happier!

    I was a child of the 70's and 80's, but I vividly remember playing with that Fisher Price Jalopy. A big part of my early childhood was spent towing that thing around the house and marveling at the way it wobbled from side to side. Such were the simple joys of youth!

  • @MsMadmax1
    @MsMadmax1 4 роки тому +2

    I actually had the rocking horse and the tricycle in this video. Beyond toys you played with, my folks bought us a little record player and Disney used to produce records of songs that were featured on their full length animated films like the soundtrack from Pinocchio or Song of the South. You could also get recordings of Sylvester and Tweetie Bird singing children's songs. And to keep me occupied, my mom got me the miniature bake set. She made everything from scratch so when she baked pies, she'd give me some of the extra pie dough to roll out and make my own little pie.

    Re: OUIJA ....I live in a old suburb outside Boston. The town was established in the 1690s. So this is an old area with a lot of creepy old houses etc, My wife told me this story when we were first dating in about 1980. A girl in her class had suddenly stopped showing up for school. The family had quickly sold their house and moved. The story eventually got back that the girl had inadvertantly summoned some hostile former owner of the house that caused so much terror that they just had to move

    Marbles were my NUMBER 1 favorite! I still have my entire collection. Slinky, tops, Chinese Checkers, the rocking horse with springs, adjustable roller skates, wooden sled, orange Tonka dump truck, jacks with rubber ball, Old Maid playing cards, Tinkertoy set, Davy Crockett hat, we loved them all. I never understood the point of Mr. Potato Head though. In our home, potatoes were for eating, and that was it!

    Hi! The Tiny Tears dolly with the bubble pipe. Priceless! LOL! There were always two sets of new dishes for me under our Christmas tree, the pots and pans set and the one with the dishes. Oh, and Mr. Potato Head! And jump rope, marbles, and jacks, all a kids' best friend! My dad grew up during the 'Great Depression,' so he always made sure all of us kids got plenty of presents to open on Christmas morning from Santa Claus. One Christmas (1965) he fell on financial hard times, and he said he went around begging for store credit, then the store manager at W.T. Grants Dept. Store (in So. Cal) gave my dad credit on a handshake. Can you believe that? My dad said that once he got back to work that he paid that loan off as quick as he could. My dad (a WWII) vet is gone now, but I tear up everytime I think of that story. Thanks for putting this video together and sharing it with us! Have a great week! :-) :-)

    you may have done this too......we used to take marbles and heat them up in the oven, in a pan. Take the pan out of the oven then pour cold water on the marbles in the pan. They crackled and looked quite pretty that way. I just loved board games too....Clue, monopoly....I even liked the nancy drew board game.. I used to play it with my sister. Clue always had such a good sense of mystery around it.

    Very nicely done, but from a boy's perspective you left out the Number One most desirable toy of the 50's - an electric train. The Lionel Corp. (still making trains today) had its biggest sales year ever (in its 100-plus-yr history) in 1953... You also had American Flyer, Marx, Kusan, and other smaller companies. Any chance you'll do another video?

  • @countrymouse47
    @countrymouse47 4 роки тому +2

    All those toys required creativity and imagination. Kids have little to no imagination these days. I was born in 1947 and we made up a lot of our own games, and we were truly always outside playing until lunch or dinner time. Kids today are entertained, but somewhat out of necessity. Today’s reality is that it isn’t safe for children to run free in their neighborhoods like we did anymore, some aren’t even safe in their own front yards. It’s a sad thing, and not the fault of the children, but they’re missing out on so much. There really is no good answer to that problem, and I’m confident parents are doing the best they can.

      for awhile I was sticking out my thumb, pretending I wanted to hitchhike a ride , but then one car started slowing up a little for me - no, I then ran and took off!
      I meant I was walking alone from school - but small kids
      today must have adults with them all the time ...
      sure has changed ...
      And I'm sorry kids today grow up with video games ...

    Yes! I used to do rthat with those plain, clear marbles. Cracking them made them a lot more interesting to look at. Monopoly was our all time favorite board game, but we also loved Scrabble, I also loved anything made by Whammo. We had a Ouija board, but it got a little too creepy when the lights started going on and off while we were summoning various spirits!

    I was born in 1958 in England, so grew up in the 60s and 70s really, but I remember having a lot of these, or playing with my friends ones. . Maybe not the same make in some cases, but certainly the same things. As Rebbecca said, a lot of my toys came in as hand me downs from other sources, mainly my Dad´s rich boss`s kids, as did some of my clothes. So I did better than our lowly status would have suggested! Lol

    Marbles were my ultimate toy. They were like humans to me. I still have my entire collection. I had a Just Like Mom's set, but I subverted the original purpose of it. I turned the stove sideways and it became the Marble Headquarters, the mop became a little girl with long hair, the broom became a fan boat, and the ironing board was turned upside down and covered with towels, becoming the "Good Ship Aurora" with its crew of marble passengers sailing the 7 seas!

    You found the Daisy Air Rifle target but you don't show the Red Ryder B-B gun. Most of these toys came from late Fifties and early Sixties. No video games or I pods but toys that you could get involved with. What one video game cost today, our parents could have bought us enough toys for an entire year.
