ROB'S DIME STORE MEMORIES 2

Woodsy,

Here are pix of some of the vintage dimestore toys I’ve collected over the past several years. I remember vividly being allowed to buy one such toy if I was a “good boy” during a trip to the doctor or dentist or some relatives. Usually, I’d get a car or a truck, but sometimes, I’d get a magic trick or a puzzle or a toy musical instrument. This would be early 1960s. And even back then, I would obsess on the cool graphics on the headers!

    1. Ha! This was a later acquisition! I did go through several of the ever-popular “Joy Buzzers” tho. SFZ

  2. Lovely relics of a simpler epoch Zigg. Pocket money magic all. I used to love little plastic musical instruments like the trumpet. Sublime.

    1. Oh yes, I had a toy trumpet and a toy guitar, before I got “real” ones as a teen!
