Toys in the Old West

Were there any Asian gunslingers in the west?

[@aaronlopez3585]

A long time a go (60yrs) my dad made for me a rocking horse, a truck and even a wooden fortress to play cowboys and.... you know. Together with my Big yellow Tonka truck those were the most memorable toys I ever had. Thank you Santee you brought back fond memories.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Awww, glad to hear it.

[@indigowolf556]

I used to like the fortresses. When I was little I would play with my brothers when they let their little sister play with them but we always had a fort made of trees and tree branches and rocks as if no one could find us. ☺️

[@Threewolfs-]

Not saying I’m Old (or poor), but we had sticks (from around the yard) and ants 🐜 (and such). But we had fun.🤙🏼❤️🇺🇸🤠

[@lightweight1974]

Play army or cops & robbers...7 brothers, 2 sisters...we didn't have any money. You were always able to find a stick in the general shape of a gun. Now days they'd arrest the kids parents for them playing make believe with a stick gun.

It would. It was, incidentally, a failure then.

Ahhh Mrs. Santee had to get her digs in! Anyway, this video reminded me of the Best of the West dolls I spent many hours playing with as a kid. However, in my play, General Custer was the villain and Geronimo was always the hero.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

I have seen those!

[@bigblue6917]

When my youngest daughters were about 4 or 5 years old I showed them how to make a doll out of a couple of handkerchiefs, two pencils and two rubber bands. This used the pencils to form the body and arms which were held in place by one rubber band. The head was made out of one of the handkerchiefs while the second was draped over to form the body, all held in place by the second rubber band. They thought it was great fun. The one problem was that within two day not a single handkerchief, pencil or rubber band could be found. But suddenly there was a large number of handkerchief dolls. Did you know that one of the earliest cowboy films, called Kidnapping by Indians, was made by the British film company Mitchell and Kenyon, and shot in Blackburn, England. It is believed to be the first dramatic film in the Western genre and pre-dating Edwin S. Porter's The Great Train Robbery by four years. Blackburn is in Lancashire and Lancashire was where many of the cotton mills were. During the American Civil War there was a shortage of cotton which left many families without employment. So a number of men sailed for America to fight in the civil war using their pay to help their families back in England. When they came back they had many tales about life in America and this led to the short film Kidnapping by Indians.

Back in the 60's I had a .45 automatic cap gun with a removable magazine that fed the plastic strip of caps up through a small top ejection port. I had completely forgotten about it until I went in the service and was issued a 1911a1 and all the memories came flooding back. Amazing what you forget and then suddenly remember like it was yesterday.

[@pamelabrida945]

In the "Little House" books Laura Ingalls Wilder called her rag doll, Charlotte. At one point, Ma made her give her doll to a visiting neighbor's child who ripped all the doll's hair off and threw her away in a mud puddle. Laura found the doll again and took her back and she and Ma remade the doll over again with sewing scraps for a new dress and yarn for a new set of tiny braids. I have always been partial to rag dolls myself . My favorite in my doll collection is a homemade Raggedy Ann doll I bought at a craft show many moons ago. Thanks for another great video, Santee! Have a great weekend!

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

From what I read, it started out as Roxy, then she changed it to Charlotte. COol that you have some of those.

Thanks again Santee & Co. Back in the 1970s my stepgrandfather lived in an Antebellum Plantation in South Carolina . I would spend Christmas and summer vacations there . He dealt in antiques , and had several old children's toys in his stock . He owned a couple of cast iron change banks that were animated . One was of a hunter and a standing bear . You would put a penny in the hunter's gun , the hunter would shoot it into the bear , and the bear would raise its forelegs . I earned some pocket money digging up old glass bottles . I wish I still had some of those antique bottles .

Ah! Back when kids had to actually use their imaginations to play with toys. Also, weren't dollhouses mainly made for wealthy married women to decorate and play with? Many were very expensive and intricately made. While I'm sure little girls would have loved to play with them, I doubt few were allowed by their mothers to even touch them.

[@ShinKyuubi]

Huh..ain't never heard of that one but it would make sense..back in the day before computers the best way to figure out if you would like how a room would look,especially if the house was similar to your own, would be to use a small model. Also given just how BIG doll houses were and the fact that event today a well made wooden dollhouses can run you over 400+ bucks..yeah I can see them being something for the bored married rich woman back in the day.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

If you were a carpenter you could easily knock out a toy doll house with scrap materials.

[@NGMonocrom]

@@ArizonaGhostriders True. But making all the various tiny furnishings inside would be very difficult.

[@GFSTaylor]

The earliest dolls houses were sometimes mini replicas of the owner's house, displayed as a status symbol. In the eighteenth century they were indeed used as tools for wealthy girls to learn about managing a large household. In the 19th century, simpler dolls houses became popular as toys in better off families.

They were chanting a eerie poem ‘ 1,2,3 ring around the Rosaphine, 4,5,6 gather the wicker sticks, 7,8,9 Beware the pine, 10,11,12 hide at the denelve, for when the clock strikes twelve and moon full and is high in the high, fear and dread are nigh, make sure to hide under the covers and cover your head, whatever you do don’t look under the bed’. Upon hearing that Mercia and his companions were terrified. They quickened their pace and and sprinted to the town hall.
