1980's 16 wheel truck (drives up walls): During the 1980's I received a toy that was a 16 wheel truck that could climb over almost anything. If you had it going toward a wall it would try to drive up it and fall backwards when it reached the top. It had a extension like a tootsie roll on the front that was used as a bumper to allow the vehicle to have more of a chance at crawling over items. The wheels were very close together on each side and it was somewhat like a centipede. You could hang the vehicle over your arm and half the wheels would flap over each part of your arm.

Aircraft Carrier: In the 70's I had a toy aircraft carrier. I think it was 3 feet long, with a two-piece styrofoam base. Inside, it had a rubber band catapult. You could string up fishing line and launch a plane up the line from the carrier. Each plane had a swivel and at the apex of "flight" it would turn around and "fly" back down the line. You had a stick attached to a red base with a couple of stickers of instruments on it. You could set the plane down on the deck and the little arresting hook would actually trigger the gate at the end of the ship. The planes were an A-4 and an F-4. What a cool toy that was? Any idea of the name and whether they can be found?; Reply

All of the gauges were paper stickers if I recall correctly. Do you have any idea what this toy was called and who the manufacturer was.

alien monster trucks from the 80's-90's: My brother had couple of monster trucks when we were kids back in the late 80's, early 90's. The were neon and black.

Any information on Hi-Ranger small size spring horse?: I have a hand-me-down spring horse - definitely vintage, but I have no idea what decade it was made. It's a small size spring horse on a wooden frame. Much of the paint has rubbed off and the sticker on the horse's chest is faded, but I can make out "Hi-Ranger". Is this worth anything? My mother says that it certainly is and wants me to sell it and put the money into the kids' college funds. I wonder if perhaps it has more sentimental value and I should just find someone with a connection to it to pass it on to. (I do NOT want to store it for my kids!); Reply

Baby Doll - fuzzy body stuffed with foam, plastic head: This doll was purchased at a garage sale in 1980 and was already loved to the point her fuzzy body was faded. We believe she was originally blue. Her plastic head has green-blue eyes (they do not move) and her mouth is open (no teeth). There are wavy grooves to look like light brown hair. No fingers/toes on her foam-stuffed body. She measures approximately 8 inches tall. There are no discernible markings to identify the company that produced this doll--no tag, no imprint on the plastic. May have rubbed off. Can you identify this doll?; Reply

I'm looking for this Barbie fashion design set that came with a 8.5" x 11" plastic stencil of three or four poses (mine was pink). This would have been from the late 80s or more likely the early 90s.

If you have any ideas on what this toy was called I'd be thrilled! Thanks!; Reply

Bathtub toy: "Squirt-squirt, squirt the animals...": I'm having a flashback to a commercial for a bathtub toy from the early 70s. It was a ship with spinning animal targets and a porpoise that one would hold with its tail in the water and squeeze. This would force a stream of water out of its mouth at the targets. The jingle, which, disturbingly, I remember vividly, went: "Squirt-squirt, squirt the animals, whenever you take a bath. You can squirt the animals, with the porpoise. It's a squirt that will make you laugh."I'd love to know the name of this toy, just to satisfy my curiosity and in case I'm ever on Jeopardy and it comes up. Any ideas on how to find this? I'd even bet there's one in an attic somewhere waiting to be dusted off and admired. Thanks, Brian; Reply

battery operated monkey: I have a battery opperated toy monkey from my grandmother's estate. It is about 7 inches tall and is made of metal and plastic hands. I am not sure what his face is made from. with brown fur, white and red striped cloth overalls and a red barret hat. it has a blue remote control with only one button that takes 2 "dry cell" batterys. It looks like his legs, arms and mouth moves and eyes light up. He is in excellent condition. No tears or stains, hardley fadded. The paint on feet and face is very well preserved- almost none missing. On the bottom of his foot, there is a sticker that says line mar toys in a circle, then japan. on his other foot on the inner ancle it is stamped S&E in a diamond then made in japan under that. I found it in a red box, only the bottom, not the top- not sure if it is original, but there is more cardboard inside to protect the remote. can you tell me about its age and worth? I cant find one like it onine anywhere!; Reply
Battery Operated Santa Slide: My family has a Santa slide that recently broke and I would like to find another. It is about 12 inches tall with 5 to 10 little Santa figurines. The figurines climb up stairs one at a time and then slide down the side to start the climb all over again. It makes a loud bell sound as each figurine climbs the stairs. Children love it, adults are annoyed by it. It must be from the late 1970's or early 1980's. Can you tell the name of this "Santa slide" and where to find one? I've tried searching ebay, but without the name it is hard to find even on the internet. Thank you so much! Billi; Reply
Battery Operated Toy Guns (futuristic) from the 1960's: When I was a child growing up in the 1960's, I had a battery operated machine gun and helmet combo that I **loved** playing with. The machine gun made noises and had a translucent red tube in the barrel that would light in rapid sucession as long as the trigger was engaged. When the trigger was released, the rifle made a "winding down" noise that was especially cool sounding. The helmut was military looking with a build-in visor/goggle kind of thing that fit over your eyes. There was a weird logo on the helmut that I remember, though not clearly. It was a triangle with what looked like (I think) a spider monkey or something in it. Are these descriptions making sense? I wish I knew the name of the items or manufacturer. I'd like to see a picture of them if I could only pinpoint what they were and who made them. Hope you can help!; Reply

Doll - Rocking Chair: On my first christmas in 1971 my grandma gave me a doll and rocking chair. One of my dogs growing up ate the doll but I still have the rocking chair. It is painted to look like a grandma so when you sit in it you are sitting in grandma's lap. The back has a face drawn on it with rosey cheeks, sqaure glasses and a grey bun on top of her head. The dress painted on the chair is blue and white polka-dot dress. Some people have said it is Mrs. Beasley but, in pictures it does not look like her. I am interested in trying to find one of the dolls...could anybody identify whether this is a character from tv or a book and give her a official name. We have always called her grandma chair.; Reply
Doll for bed: I was given around 1966 a type of doll/clown that lays on a bed. It is made of pink silk material, my sister had a light green silk. Inside the clown like outfit, it was made of bendable wire so that when laying it on the bed, it looked like it was on its stomach and you could bend the arms and legs up. The face was more of a plastic type doll head and it is wearing a pointed pink hat. The hands look like white felt mittens with white toulle lace around the wrists, the feet look like the same white type felt and again around the ankles is the same white toulle lace. There are not tags on the doll. Any idea who this was made by or if it is worth anything? Barb; Reply

The cars were actually little plastic pieces with decals on them (I think) and they were real moving pieces under a plastic screen. It was not digital. I think you had to somehow wind the game up. You would control steering on your car and try to bump off or manuever through the other cars. I think there were a series of these games at the time. It would be great if you knew what these were, cause it's eating me up.Thanks, Kurt; Reply

Toy Helicopter from the mid 80's: Trying to find out the name and maker of a toy helicopter from the mid 80's. It was white and black and about a foot long. There was a trigger in the back to make the rotor blade turn. The most unique aspect of it was the pieces that extended out each side of it. They started at the body of the copter and curved outward and down. At the end of each was a car launcher for a Hot Wheels type car. I think there was also a storage compartment in the main body for other cars. Any info appreciated. Thanks!; Reply
