Not really from Vienna |
We used to build a fort out of Lincoln Logs and run the big old metal electric train into it. I also still have a die-cast toy Luger my dad gave me when I was 8 or 9 years old. It's about 2/3 size. | |||

The Fanner 50 was fun to shoot AND taught the principles of reloading. | |||

Fanner 50 of course. I also still have my old time favorite toy, the steel John Deer pedal Tractor my Grandfather got when he bought a real john Deer tractor in the early 50's. They don't make them like that anymore! | |||

For years my favorite toys were marbles. We had a neighbor that worked in the railroad tool and die shop and he would supply me with steelies (ball bearings) that made me the king for a while. We'd play for hours on end then play tetherball at the end of the day. Great times. My first bike was a Huffy that my parents won in a contest and that opened up the whole universe in my kid like mind. Everything else came in second after that bike.

The most interesting toy I had was a Hot Wheels injection mold. I see they have some today, but they don't look anything like the one I had. The ones today use wax. The one I had used plastic. Good times..getting a string of molten plastic on my skin or clothes..getting burned by the zinc dies..trying to recycle sprues and make marbled bodies or unique colors. | |||

I had a couple of toy trains that would move without tracks, blow the whistle, and also had smoke coming out. I remember a bartender that would shake a cocktail, drink it, then have smoke coming out of its ears. I also remember having the green plastic soldiers. A lot of them. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

Hot Wheels Legos Star Wars figures BB gun I still have the Hot Wheels and Star Wars figures. The Legos went to my brother's son. Legos were great. I don't think we ever built the Lego item when we got a new box. We just dumped them into the giant trunk of Legos to use to build our own things. NRA Benefactor Life Member | |||
