So my mom called the other day and said she was cleaning out the garage attic and found a bunch of my old toys and wanted to know if I wanted them or if she should just throw them out...
So I'm on my way over to my mom's and I'm wondering if this or that is in there. The stuff I had so much fun with growing up. Things like a tin spinning top, the kind with the plunger that you could get going really fast if you pumped it really hard. Or maybe the stupid pull along crazy cars with bobble head drivers and probably lead paint all over it!
When I got there, as i suspected, my mom had saved everything, even extra pegs from my Lite Brite! There was my Krusty Jack in the Box, my tin drum (THAT had to be annoying when I was growing up!), even an old tin dump truck that, honestly, I don't remember even having, but hey.
After a little bit of poking around on the Internet I found out that these things are called "vintage" now, there's even a website dedicated to them at VintageTinToys.info. Lots of really cool stuff on that site! Anyway, it was a wonderful walk down memory lane picking through my vintage tin toys and remembering...
