I keep seeing this strange plastic space belt online.
No idea what it is. It says KRJ on it.
Its sort of art deco.
It sort of reminds me of this space car I see now and then too.
Again, no real idea what this is.
Something atomic / art deco from the Fifties?
Can anyone help ID these toys and are they related?
hi Woodsy, how are ya doing?
ReplyDeleteIf you think smaller than a belt, item one is actually something called a Spaceband, given away by Weatherbird shoes in the US. It goes on a child's wrist-has a whistle, a compass, (the letters are stickers you can use to send coded messages) -does just about everything!
Fantastic Steve! That's a new one on me, the Weather Bird spaceband. Its an elusive toy too, I could only find one entry for it online describing it as a secret decoder wristwatch. What a cool idea and years before IWatches! Ha ha. Here's the image http://thumbs.ebaystatic.com/images/g/InsAAOSwCU1Y2fl9/s-l225.jpg
