This is Eleanor’s favorite ornament, because it plays “Holiday Road” when you push the button on the hood. I always put it low on the front of the tree, and at least once a day she’ll walk by, press the button and do a little dance. :D

Cool ornament, Barrett, and it must be great to have the built-in entertainment it provides for Eleanor! ;):cool::cool:

I like that sewing machine truck, José! :thumbsup::cool::thumbsup: My wife has several sewing machines, including one into which she can load computerized embroidery patterns. But she also has a Singer Featherweight model (they were made from 1933 to 1969, I think) that looks very similar to the one pictured on the door of your truck. ;)

Thank you, Gary.
In fact, this Singer sewing machine is very common in Portuguese houses, there are still many of these old machines.:thumbsup::thumbsup::)
 
I played with these plastic tubes with magnets in each end, and steel balls as connectors, during the summer. But I can't remember the name of the product, and when I went to the basement to find them this morning, I couldn't locate the box anywhere! :eek::( I wonder if we gave them to young relatives recently. I'll miss the toys.

Buck Rogers XZ-38 Disintegrator Pistol by Daisy - 1935. I've gotten rid of most all my antique toys, but this is my favorite. I have had this quite a while, and it has been in a shadow box a long time with it's predecessor the XZ-31 & a few other things. I wish I could find a pic of what the flint mechanism that screwed in the top looked like or find one.

The XZ-31 (also by Daisy) came out just before Christmas in 1934 (year before the XZ-38). It created a price war between Macy's & Gimbel's vying for business, and Daisy had to work overtime to meet demand. Retail was about 50¢ and the price war caused it to sold for less than cost at times. This is a pop-gun and very loud. They don't make toys like this anymore.

That's nice of you to say that, but there are many great toys that have been shown that bring back very fond memories. This is a great thread. Keep um coming :)
 
I agree with John; it's tough to beat a Buck Rogers Disintegrator Pistol, Tim!! :thumbsup::cool::cool::thumbsup:
(And I didn't even know such a toy existed until today. :D)

As long as I'm here, Mom used to say, "Don't play with your food." But I can't help it; some food is so much fun to play with, and that makes it a toy, right? ;):cool: (Recycled pic originally used in Barrett's @btb01 counting thread last summer, rotated for maximum entertainment value.)
