I believe the majority of the toys in this room are circa 1976-1978. Any of these ring a bell: Fisher Price Lift N Load, the cash register, the houseboat, wooden Sesame Street blocks, Fisher Price Circus Train? It's a treasure trove of good times! The boys love John's old toys as much as anything they have from their own modern playroom, and we have a moment of nostalgia ourselves playing with things that graced our own toy boxes back in the day. It even ignites questions about things we never questioned then: Who was Roosevelt Franklin? What exactly was Gonzo the Great? Did a balloon really cost a nickel in 1977? Google saves the day.
Awesome-- I vote for more 1970s toys!
ReplyDeleteAh, yes. Roosevelt Franklin. One of the many forgotten Sesame Street characters!
ReplyDeleteGreat view from above! Looks like Christmas morning.
