1. Can you remember this one? It was one of the most popular and classic toys from the 1950's, and we used to play with it for hours at a time. It was even immortalized in a "Pinky and The Brain" cartoon. It is The Tru-Action Electric Football Game by Tudor (in case you don't recognize the name, this is the one where the opposing teams of 11 little men vibrate across the 13"x24" metal field via static electricity). It even has the original kicker piece (this is missing from most of the sets you might find today). And, most remarkably, it still works fine!

2. This is a high quality set of construction blocks and wheels, entitled "Bolt-It, An Educational Building Toy for Children", and it consists of six hardwood blocks in various shapes and colors, four 2.25"x.75" wheels, a bag of nuts and a bag of washers (both still sealed), six threaded machine screws of varying lengths, and a string for pulling the newly completed toy. The entire set is expertly finished with no jagged or sharp edges to hurt your child, and it is still brand new in its original box. Finally, a toy that will actually inspire your kid to use his or her imagination (or allow you to relive your callow youth).

3. This one is so old that even I can't remember it, and I can remember when they first invented dirt. It is a very rare "Loony Lid" made by the Ideal Toy Corp. of NY in about 1952, and is still brand new in its original clear celophane packaging (although the packaging itself has become torn over the years). It is made of brightly colored Vinylite, and you simply inflate it (by mouth) and then wear it on your head. Apparently it becomes some sort of hat in the shape of a specific character, and is about 2 feet high. This one is "Elfy", which I assumed would be an elf or sprite, but turns out to be an elephant. Please don't ask why I've saved it for over 50 years, that's hard enough to explain to the wife (for the 114th time). Please buy it so I won't have to have her killed the next time she asks (then again...).
