Externet Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Greetings. Come and describe those unforgettable toys that made you happy as a kid. By 6, a pedal car like By 7, This transistor radio with shortwave. By 8, a blocks kit to build anything, By 9, A Coca-Cola truck with removable cases of bottles. Never seen another. By 10, a fire truck of heavy solid cast metal with real water cistern on board, working hoses, and a metal truck with hydraulic dump. Never seen another. By 11, a Lionel electric train. By 15, a Schuco wind-up car MercedesBenz with working gear box, steering, doors.
