Rack Toys

Time for our semi-weekly visit to Collector's Weekly. This week's article features stuff you'll (probably) recognize from your childhood if you grew up in the 60s and 70s -- so-called "rack toys." These things were so cheap and easily broken, few have survived. Thus the irony that they have become collectibles. Piclick for more.

heh...must be a slow day at the office :)

Yes, I actually had that as a kind. Didn't take long for all the "saucers" to get lost on the roof or elsewhere.

Kinda' like those water pressure propelled rockets. Those fuckers could fly!

A three day "work week" between Xmas and New Years? No, it's not slow; it's stationary.

Well, at least I can get caught up on various paperwork I've been putting off (done), file some folders that have been sitting on my desk for a month (done), and... um... I'm certain there must be something else I can do around here.

I'll get back to you on that.
