Sears never fail to blow me away.
Here's another barnstormer, the Field Helicopter.
The toy looks spectacular, a backpack with rotors! Just amazing and the closest thing kids would have got to a jet pack!
I imagine these are uncommon and one on Ebay USA commanded a hefty tag.
Here's a video I found about the toy on You Tube.
Is this something you were lucky enough to own one Christmas readers?
Where did you fly to?
Wow, what an unusual toy. Such back-pack helicopters actually existed - the problem was that your legs were the landing gear, and took all the shocks.
ReplyDeleteha ha, good pint Paul!
DeleteOdd! I have never seen this before - cool post Woodsy!
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing I agree Ed!
DeleteAnd a free haircut everytime you played with it! No wonder buzz cut flattops were popular in the early sixties!
ReplyDeleteha ha, regular choppers!
DeleteThat is such a cool toy!
ReplyDeleteAnd the vintage styling blows me away...
I immediately want to make an art toy inspired by that...
Thanks for posting!
