Toy memories

This guy put up an excellent page in loving tribute to the toys he had as a kid in the 60's. That's my general age-frame too, so this brought back plenty of good times. Check it out and discover why our toys were cooler than the ones you grew up with.

2 Thank you for that link! I loved many parts, of course, but about the toy guns: My mother absolutely refused to buy me a toy gun, so I simply made my own out of a stick, a spring clothes pin and a bag of rubber bands. Good times!

3 I remember owning 7 toy guns : a plastic .30 cal machine gun on a tripod, a pretty good 2/3 replica of a Lee-Enfield .303, a plastic Sten gun, a metal James Bond Berretta replica (probably illegal now), a double-barrel Pirates Pistol, a "007 Man with the Golden Gun" Luger (gold finish, with shoulder stock, silencer and telescopic sight), and finally a camera gun that appears on the web site.
I haven't thought of the last for nigh on 40 years.

Without a toy Gun, how can you play "Cops and Robbers", "Cowboys and Indians" etc?
