Trestle and Mortar

 


I have a feeling I had a plastic toy mortar as a kid. This modern one jogged a vague memory.

It must have been REMCO or something like that.

Did you have a toy mortar?

The toy ammo would have fit well in an ace case like this modern kids' one. How I would have adored this back then in my garden field outpost with its trestle table and medic kit. 

I know my Action Man had a little green ammo case. Remember that?

  1. My GI Joe had an ammo box. The lid opened but nothing went inside (although I stuffed a grenade or two in there). It was tiny, about the size of a matchbox or so.

  2. I had the AM mortar, bazooka and Rope Grapnel gun. Great fun, especially the Mortar which lobbed solid plastic bombs about six feet in the air! Bill

    1. So cool all that stuff. Grapnel? Is that a word?
