I dont have a picture, but that Meccano set I got when I was about 10 years old had to be the best gift of all time.

Man...if a person new then what they know now...so many toys or collector cards would have survived. Use to have lots of star wars stuff, gi-joe, evil knievel, stretch armstrong...exc. shoe box full of hockey and star wars cards.....all gone.

My brother and I got the video game of ' Pong' when we were kids. Wish we would have hung on to it, might be worth a few bucks today.

Little older quick story.....yikes! Anyways I am old , grew up in the last few years of the true "muscle car " era....so I ended up with a 69 camaro SS. All stock 396 , 4 spd,rally package....and of course as new(mint)...! Rather priceless today.
Well as young people tend to do occasionally I made rather poor hasty decision....lol
Traded it for a 72 international 4x4 truck ,PLUS $$$$.....seriously ! Well you see the muscle car era was fading fast, and you simply had to have a 4x4 of some sort....lmfao.
I will say that the truck was a lot of fun and provided hours of research about the young ladies of that time in my life.... So all was not last. Not to mention the incredible burn outs at the A&W in Duncan BC back then. Of course 4 low with the hubs in free wheel does that.....lol
I learned a lot about life in that simple transaction, stretched over a long period of time .....thanks to a few of my more memorable TOYS of the day.....cheers, happy new year!!

had one of these mini steam engines, I would saw Popsicle sticks for hours, these days you would go to jail giving that to 10 year old! I would spend all day chopping Popsicle sticks and glueing them together. Ran off tiny white solid fuel sticks.

I have a working one as well!
A Sony Walkman I got "way back then" changed my life.

We had a similar one when I grew up except it said heinz ketchup. Both rear doors swing open with a catch in the middle. Thanks for posting that as it brings back memories from almost 50 years ago.
