Mickey Mouse’s Talking phone and snoopy snow cone machine were my favorites when I was little. Shocked you held onto those all these years, well done.

@Tomek we have Meccano which is about the same as your Merkur. Most of my play stuff went to younger family members when I was done with it so I have practically nothing left. I do have this though: this ruler is at least 80 years old as it has my mum’s name and home address where she was born on it. For me it was my gun. As progressive parents of their time my parents thought it a bad idea that kids should have toy guns. As a boy I absolutely needed toy guns to play with. So this made do for me for quite a while. When my mum died it resurfaced and I took it home.

Ooh I love Scooby Doo! Wrote a poem once called Ode to Scooby Doo, then my friend and I recorded a little jazzy song on his 4 track in my little studio apartment back in '98. Oh those were the days!

Not a toy but a loving memory: The banknotes I grew up with. They were beautifully designed (my opinion) and showed 2 women and 3 men :blush::star: Maybe a reason why I like cash and always wanted to have a lot of it :grin:
