Christmas memories for me as a young boy in the 1950's was heading into the chilly old living room alone before everyone got up and pausing to look at the big christmas tree with all our gifts of mine and my sister's. then later all excited opening one of mine a bright red Hubley kiddie toy fire truck with all the removable parts I still have that toy 67 years later.

I also had a cap rifle and a couple of other toy guns. I had plenty of other things to play with. My parents spoiled me a bit in the toy department, but they didn't take any malarkey from me, so I didn't grow up entitled 😁The Merlin had yet to come along - that was future technology, man.

I like what you said. Having been born in 1963 I grew up with many of toys shown here, some were hand me downs from my brothers.

How many children do you think EVER utter those words today? Sadly, not many. They are truly missing out. I feel blessed to have grown up when there was still "magic" to being a child.

the Wizzer thing really got me. I'd pretty much forgotten about that. Didn't have the boards for it, just the top I remember revving it up and letting it go with the metal tip and rubber around it.

Had a couple of smaller erector sets as well, and yes the nuts and bolts always worked loose.

But watching, wow, the shapes, the weight of it, the moving parts and how they feel, seems to real, sensory-vivid in memory. I don't know if I had one of those cap guns. Maybe our elderly neighbors had one in the ancient toybox from when they had kids, or one of my cousins had one. So familiar! And I know I've given that item exactly zero thought since I was, who knows, eight years old. Now I'm (mumble) decades old! Amazing. BTW, what's a "cap"?

Can't believe all the wonderful toys & games we had growing up. Tinker Toys, man those were a riot. Always enough for friends to play with you. Loved Merlin & the baseball game. With the baseball game the pitcher would throw a pitch and you had to press a button to swing. You would get a strike, ball or a hit. Loved getting those home runs. Bought the game for someone once & just had to try it out beforehand. Played it so much had to replace the batteries before giving it away. Loved letting my sister play with the bank. Would coax her into putting her money in then watching her cry because her money would disappear. I would secretly take the money out & get her to go again. Pretty cruel but funny as hell. Can't wait to see if you have a Barbie that didn't bend. Frustrating trying to make the thing walk only on her stupid tiptoes. You could only make them hop. Can't forget Barbie's little sisters Tootie & Skipper. Then there was the rubbery blue trolls with the long stretchy arms & legs. They had a big head with a huge suction cup on the back of it. Those suckers stuck to anything. They left great blue circles on the walls. Had to be careful sticking them on skin especially the face as they left huge hickies!

I remember all these toys. I passed my toys on to neighbors kids or my cousins. They never took care of them. I wish I could have saved them. I would have a freaking "Mint" literally !

[@r.p.mcmurphy6623]

literally?

[@fernandoorozco3751]

The Wizzer! I owned or played with all of those toys, except for the Erector set. For some reason I never came across one of those. Also I never had beer cans. My mom would have blown a gasket. I did have the Mattel Baseball, and I think the Football. My best friend had Merlin. Good times.

[@juliemcarthur3004]

I had tinker toys and Lincoln logs

Life was simpler then, didn't take much to have fun!

[@dwaynewladyka577]

Nostalgia. I remember in the late 1970s, or thereabouts, we would amass a big amount of soda cans. They would be stacked very high. Those toys and games do seem familiar.

Exact same Monopoly game that I played with growing up! Never knew anyone else that had one like that. We played it often as a family.

Yesss! The cap gun is awesome. I have a few revolver cap guns myself. Also have a tiny cannon that loads the newer red caps.

[@fredflintstone4715]

Not to mention the smell of the burnt caps. Great memories.

[@borderlands6606]

Toy shops kept boxes full of replacement cap rolls because guns were so popular. Later came a circular plastic cap cassette which was much louder, but only held around 12 shots. You could double or triple up the old paper rolls by folding them over in the bomb.

[@kendallevans4079]

There was a brand of caps called "Greenies"...they were the best!

[@CreationsVibration]

Basically everything i played with in the 80s

[@MrPolymers]

Hey, great job. I'm 60 years old and remember many of those toys. One I would love to have is my vintage 1965 or so Voyage to the bottom of the Sea "Seaview Sub". All I remember is it was yellow but would be worth a lot in mint condition today.

[@dansmith8059]

thanks...great memories

I was about ten years ahead so the electronic games weren't around yet. I had the same Erector set and the huge Lincoln logs set. I had Fort Apache with 100+ soldiers and another 100+ Indians. My total army men numbered over 500. Civil War Centennial was going strong so we all had the flags, hats and muskets with rubber bayonets. We also had those all metal pop guns which were like BB guns without the magazine. You could stick the barrel into the ground and shoot all the dirt and small rocks at someone. We collected the same comic books and baseball cards. I wish I still had those Micky Mantle and others cards now.
