Does anyone remember Astroboy? How about Dancerina dolls and Kaboom cereal? By the way, if anyone is looking for an old toy a good place to look is Ebay. I found a copy of an old girlscout book that I hadn't seen in years.

Love your site. Found it while trying to find more information on a "Passion Meter" I recently found in an antique/junk shop. The idea is to measure your level of passion while holding the glass meter in your hand. Actually, it is a series of stacked glass bulbs with a liquid in the bottom. The liquid is supposed to pulsate to the top but there is a way to measure the passion by how many bulbs the liquid rises through. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. HELP! I need to know. Gail

I am really, really looking for a Remco Tricky Tommy Turtle for my mom's birthday. This was, I guess, the toy that my grandmother never bought her, and has made her life to this point incomplete. I'd ideally like to find one in working condition (my mom is still a kid at heart) but in good display condition would be great too. Please e-mail me if you have, or know where I might find such a gem! Thanks in advance ~Ashley~

You ship and I'll reimmburse for shipping and price of adapter. Thanks, Pdrivelikehell@aol.com

Winston tastes good like a cigarette should..or as kids sang circa 1966 "winston tastes bad like the one I just had. no filter, no taste, just a 40 cent waste." Wacky packages - who could get the most different ones and (sadly, from a collector perspective) paste them on their looseleaf binder...finding a postcard in my 6 year old handwriting addressed to "Catch Max" but never sent...a kids show tv song called "Hi Mike" what show was that, and who was Mike....the kids waving on Wonderama...the Wonderama dance contest...Sonny Fox - don't cross in the middle of the block....it just goes on and on....

I don't remember the Name of this stuff but it was a putty that came in different colors like blue,pink etc. You could form it into various shapes and stick it on your wall. I would have peace signs,flowers,stars and others on the wall of my bedroom. I sure wish I could remember the name

very cool site...bringing back alot of stuff in my mind. i'm remembering a sunday morning cartoon that was on around the same time if not before david and his talking dog goliath. this cartoon was of a character that was a centaur and had a little sidekick that was a "pan" that had little horns and played a pan flute. i remember tom terrific and his mighty wonder dog manfred that was on capt. kangaroo. i always watched kookla, fran & ollie too. there was a cartoon called kool mckool ? or something like that. one of my sisters had gotten me this really neat thing for x-mas one year. it was a square flat "disc" with rounded corners and had some sort of light/heat/touch sesitive stuff inside, and when yoy looked at it while you "scribbled" with your fingers on the pad of stuff inside, it made interesting patterns and images, etc...i remember a candy called zotz! and another one called chick on a stick. there was a liquid cocentrate like kool ade but was in glass bottles and was called zarex. marathon bars...cool cartoons in the late fifties,early 60's...does anyone remember clutch cargo? (with spinner & paddlefoot)? there was a japanimation cartoon in the 60's that was practically identical to the lion king, and that was called either kimba or simba. an orphaned white lion cub being raised by the other animals in africa. had similar characteristics to that of speed racer. i remember playing with all the other kids on the street that all had SST's and the crash cars you kept crashing into each other and put the pieces back on and do it again. i used to have a super spirograph that my dad got for me one x-mas, and he played with it almost more than i got to, and if there is anybody reading this that knows where i can obtain one,i would be in your debt!!! i suddenly remembered everyone used to have a tetherball in their back yard, and we used to play jarts (way before they became dangerous) oh well, i gotta go...too many things come to mind but this really is a great site to stumble upon. bye.

Some of my favorite toys of the 60's was my Lennon Sisters Paper Dolls kit and Colorforms! Penny Candy was great for kids with very little money. We'd buy Walnettos, Nik-L-Nips, red candy lipstick, candy necklaces, candy dots on strips of paper, caramel Bullseyes, licorice "records", wafer flying saucers with little candies inside, bubble gum cigars and and candy cigarettes that really blew smoke! If I had a whole nickle I could get a Maple Bun candy bar, Fizzies, Chuckles, Neccos or a Slo-Poke on a stick!

Does anyone remember Tearie Dearie? My mother keeps telling me that her favorite doll was her Tearie dearie doll (produced in 1964) It came with a pyramyd carrying case that turned into a high chair. I'm trying to find one in near mint condition for her. If anyone has one that they are willing to sell please e-mail me. Thank you
