Remember This Toy?

Cool Ken! Start them young I say...

I never had toys like that when I was a little kid, But I do remember My Dad handing me a 16 oz claw hammer, a bag of nails,
and telling me to build a fence around my mothers garden to keep the rabbits out --- if I wanted vegetables on the table come dinner time.


Yep That's Me -- Summer of 1948

Your still a good looking guy, and you look good then , and toys I wasn't so lucky , and yes that would be a good project

Ikea has something like that but not this nice.
Good job

Ken,

Great looking photo from 1948.

So is the fence done yet?

[Kenm810]

Sorry to say, but the fence, garden, house, and most of the neighborhood is long gone,
all vacant lots now including the Detroit Public School I first attended down the street.
All just memories and a few photos now ---- as time goes by.

[rcdages]

So Correct Ken,

As time goes by.

I found my old house and elementary school still there on Goggle Earth. But they removed my front porch and a wearhouse of something is behind the house where the apple trees and chicken coop where. I started the second grade there in about 1946. That was in Warwick RI. I don't remember if I had one of those toys, buy my kids did in the 1960s - and it was made of wood.

I didn't have that in the 1970s, but it is sure cool in 2011.

Excellent idea and a reminder of the quality of times past
