This piccy on Etsy of plastic treasures brought back memories.
Its the hot water bottle. I remember them so clearly from the Sixties. They were everywhere. And those small plastic baby milk bottles too. They're just so familiar!
Do you remember them readers?
I think those doll bottles are fairly common. What really caught my eye was the white snowmobile. Looks like it is missing the handlebars. I had that same one but in red. It had a rubber coated wheel under the seat that was on a rubberband held by those two outriggers in the middle. You rolled it backwards to wind it and if you were lucky, it went forward when you released it. I know it was a cereal toy but damn if I recall which one. I ate a lot of different brands in the 60s.Nice to see a weiner whistle in the batch also.
ReplyDeletehad a quick google Lance but couldn't see that snowmobile. I even tried skidoo. I will have a skeg in my copy of Bill Breugman's Toys of the Sixties book. There's a neat cereals section.
DeleteI did a bit more digging and it appears to be from Kellogg's circa 1973. I remember cramming one of the figures off one of my Hot Wheels Rumblerrrrs onto it. I also recall being disappointed it didn't work on snow lol. Strictly a hard surface toy. Top row, you can see all the parts in the bag https://www.picclickimg.com/d/l400/pict/401199386313_/Vintage-Cereal-Premium-Plastic-Snowmobile-and-ATV-Bike.jpg
