Do you remember these?

During WW2 metal toys disappeared. I greatly enjoyed my electric train and my Erector set that were pre-war.

off topic: you think there might be something wrong in a society where a legitimate question is 'which war?'

I remember having a large set of MiniBrix's when I was a child. The whole set was made out of rubber. I would build houses, bridges, motels and more for hours and hours.

Does anyone remember Tangee (orange) lipstick; 79 cents at Woolworth's, metal curlers you would sleep on all night and they hurt your head, mascara that came in a tiny little tube, pennyloafers, bobby sox, bras that came to a point, like Dixie cups, circle pins, (cool on turtleneck sweaters, angora sweaters (that shed all over your date's clothes?

I remember in my pre-teen years the boys in the neighborhood would take girls on their Bicycles to a place called suicide hill. The boys would leave the girls at the bottom of the hill then they would race down . the boy they came in first had to get a kiss from the girl he took to the hill. Boy did I love that game.

Back in the mid '50s, I played for hours with these

Made forts, and even airplanes








They weren't mine, but the neighbors didn't seem to mind me being there
Even invited me to dinner a couple times

Until just now, didn't realize Auburn made them

The same guys that made the really cool rubber cars

...of which I had several......especially the hot rod ('32 Ford?)
But mine was red

Reading this reminded me of something we had hanging on our wall.

It had our family name on it,Mom,Dad,my brother my sister and me. Guess who was always in the doghouse? LOL

Yep - those were the kind I had!

I lived in those things for a long, long time, and a large part of my injury collection is due entirely to them. layful:

I had these and would use them in the basement, whipping myself around on the metal support pole... ah, memories!
