1950's musical santa with white rabbit fur beard and wooden base that you wind up.: I am desperately searching for a 1950's stuffed musical santa that has a white rabbit fur beard, green felt gloves and a wooden base that you wind up possibly from the 1950's. Another guest also had a link to a photo and that IS the musical Santa I am seeking. Help please. This is a family emergency to replace the most cherished toy.; Reply
1950s table top baseball game, pinball type but all mechanical: I recall having a baseball game when I was around 8 to 10 (1950-1952). It was wooden sides, probably wooden or composition bottom, and a glass top. It was rectangular, as much as my memory serves perhaps 10-12 inches width and perhaps 18 - 20 inches long. It had fold out legs so that the top end sat up perhaps 3 inches off the table. It was strictly mechanical. A pull rod with a spring that launched small ball bearings. The board lay out was a variety of curved pieces of metal designating fly outs, ground outs, single, double, triple, etc. At the center bottom was the home run slot which as I recall was a narrow slot of what looked like inverted nails channeling the ball into the HR space. No fancy ball return. When you had finished "hitting" all the balls, you just tilted the board up and to the right and then down so the balls would enter the return slot. Scorekeeping was strictly on paper or in your head. No bells, whistles, lights, etc. Trying to see if one might exist somewhere as I know my grandso would love it.; Reply

1970s programable walking green dinosaur: I can't find the name of this toy anywhere.

1971 Mattel Squishy: I have a toy that is dated Mattel 1971. It is filled with wax and you could push and squish it into different shapes and it would go back to it's original shape. It was never that easy, but it done hard enough, you could push it in all sorts of directions. From what I remember, I think the toy was named "Squishy". I know that there was also a witch.

buzz lightyear hand held lazer: In 2006, our family attended Disney on Ice where my 2 year old daughter became captivated by a buzz lightyear toy being sold with other disney memorabelia.

Cap Gun: My parents recently gave me my Mattel Fanner 50 "Lone Ranger" double holster rig made from Dura Hyde, which is from the 1960's I believe. I probably got them around 1968-70. I have attempted to research this on line, with little or no results. I have seen several of these on ebay recently, but my question is - what style grip did they have? On ebay I have seen "STAG" or I call them antelope grips - but some information says that they are from a series called Out of Africa? Another set had plain/smooth white grips, while others have the textured horn style grips. I do not remember what my set had, and we can not find any pictures clear enough to identify the grip style. Does anyone know the answer, or where to find it? Thank you!; Reply

Flying Model Helicopter: Around 1990 I bought a glow engine model helicopter for my son. I still have it, but the blades are warped from heat and the engine is seized. I would love to get it working again if I could locate the company and maybe some parts. It was free flying, going straight up. It had a small fuel tank that allowed it to fly for a short period of time. When the engine ran out of fuel, the abrupt stop would cause the door to pop open and a small paratrooper would be thrown out and would glide to the ground and the helicopter would make a soft landing. It was the greatest thing! I'm not sure, but I think it was called something like Johnny Sky Jumper, or something to that effect. Have you ever heard of it? Is the company still around and maybe parts available? I would even love to find a new one to entertain the next generation, my grandchildren. Thank you for your help.Tom.; Reply

ICE CREAM TRUCK - MUSIC BOX: My little sister got a Christmas present in 1986 (pretty sure it was 1986). It was an ice cream truck, or some kind of truck/van/car. The top had slots that you put plastic "records" in. As I remember they had bumps on them so I think it was really just a kind of music box. When you turned it on the truck would slowly drive around and the record in the slot would rotate and it played a song. It came with about three of these "records" and each played a different song. I've been trying to find it online, but no luck so far. I can't remember who made it or if it was even an ice cream truck. Any help? Thanks!; Reply

Woody Woodpecker Doll: I am in search of a specific Woody Woodpecker doll that my girlfriend has that she has had since pretty much birth. here is what I know about the doll to assist you in your answer. This is a vintage toy as she was born in 1982, it's approximately 10" tall and has a plush body with a hard vinyl or plastic head and feet. He has a black and white striped bow tie and had soft bean bag type hands. In my search the only thing that I have found that comes close has the hard plastic hands and that is not what I am in search for. I'm not sure if the doll was made by Pedigree, Sunshine Toys or Cal Toys. Her parents got the doll from the NJ Shore by winning it on one of those Wheel games so I'm guessing that the doll she has is probably not one that was originally sold in stores. So in short I am searching for a 10" Woody Woodpecker Plush doll with hard vinyl head and feet, soft beanie style hands and it has a black and white bow tie and is circa 1981-1983 time frame. The beanie style hands is what is killing me as I have found the exact doll with hard plastic hands.
