Fisher-Price Garage

I don't care what anyone says, this was a blast. SO much to do for a little kid.

I remember you put a car in the elevator. Cranked it alllll the way up to the third floor, where it would exit down the ramp. Coll as hell.

This was a toy enjoyed by all three of us. Despite it being my younger brothers.

Here is the thing about this. I remember this coloring book, but not the movie. 

I am sure we as a family saw this movie. We always went to the movies.

I do remember that the cover was flocked in red on the darker parts of the pirates sleeves.

This was mine.

 

 

ATF WOODBURNING KIT

 

Back in a day where your parents encouraged you to burn down the house.

Both me and my older brother had these. 

I can still smell the burning wood, as I pressed the outline into an Indian Chief.

Ali Baba/Aladdin's Lamp

 

 

I can't count how many times we listened to these stories. 

I do remember that Jack Grimes, the voice of Speed Racer,was one of the voices.

When you're a kid, that's pretty cool. Bought originally to entertain my younger brother, 

we had no idea how cool this was, until we heard it.

STAR TREK EXPLORATION MODEL SET

Yeah...My younger brother and I ran these over with our bikes, 

in the middle of the street in front of the entire neighborhood.

 Sadly, there we my older brother's. Even sadder, they are worth a lot of money now.

SUPERMAN BOOK AND RECORD

We had a lot of these Book and Record dealies. 

My best guess, my mom thought it was better than television, and it kept us quiet.

BATMAN SLIPPERS

These were my younger brother's slippers. 

He wore them ALL the time.

He wore them out enough to wear away the sole.

BATMAN WALLET

This was once again my younger brother's. 

How a kid born in 1967, got sooo many items made before he was

born is a tribute to my mom's nose for deals. Sure purchased somewhere in the 70s if not 80s.

KISS ALIVE II POSTER

I had it up on my wall over my bed, and for whatever reason, 

I was teen at the time,  my Dad ripped it from the wall.

I'm sure I had it coming.

King Kong Playset

 

Even though this is from the 60s, This was my younger brother's.  My mom was an awesome deal shopper. This was most likely on clearance somewhere and she scooped it up.
