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

1980s Childrens Baseball/Wiffleball Pitch machine: When I was growing up in the 80s, I remember I had a toy that looked like a small kid (I was a small kid too), and he had like a scoop arm that would rotate, pickup a ball, and lob it to you to hit. I thought it was the best toy ever and would like to find one. I want to say that he toy kid was wearing a red shirt maybe, its hard to remember. Do you have any idea, I would be so grateful.

1980s Doll inside Plastic Ice Cream: Trying to find out the name of a set of dolls from the early-mid 1980s. They came in a plastic ice cream (the top was a swirl and the bottom was a squat cone with flat base). You opened the top and you could get the doll out. The cone was also on a lanyard/necklace that you could wear around your neck. They aren't Shortcake, Cupcake or Little Kiddle dolls. If anyone can help that would be very much appreciated as there are a number of us in New Zealand trying to remember what they were called. Many thanks!; Reply
1980's magnetic penguin toy Christmas Toy maybe?: Growing up every year at Christmas time in the 1980's my grandparents would get out these toys, one of which had pengiuns that when you turned it on they would move around being picked up by magnets and brought to the top of the toy where they would be dropped down, slide down the toy to the bottom to be picked up again over and over. They had several but the penguin one is the one I most remember. What are they called and where can I find one? Thank You!; Reply

2 player 1960's strategic combat board game with magnetic pieces: Have searched on line for two hours now. It was a vertical magnetic game board with Army tanks,airplanes and ships playing pieces that had round magnets on each of them. That's what would enable you to knock/fall down (repel on opposite side of the board) your opponents playing pieces (one by one)to get to the coveted command post "ground zero fort" to win. You had to spin once each turn, up to 4, being the highest spin one could take.; Reply
80s blankets: Growing up my sisters and I each received a blanket from our grandfather who passed away last year. The blankets have a soft trim, like satin and feature prints.

Balloon Flying Toy: In the late '60s or maybe early '70s, I had a flying toy that had a hand control on one end and a big fan on the other end. On the end with the hand control to the right I beleive there was also a throttle that controlled the speed of the circular fan. The hand control, controlled the direction of the fan. What it was all set up for was to fly a balloon on a cushion of air. The balloon was (pretty much a regular balloon) equiped with a little plastic landing base so that the craft could stand up. When you softly began the fan and aimed it at the balloon, you could actually make it lift off and you could fly it around the room, and even land it with some practice. My question Dr. Toy, is what was the name of this toy? I received it one Christmas and have never forgotten about it, some 40 or so years ago now. Thank you.; Reply

There is a wheel with two magnetic tips that run on the rails, when you tip it down it runs down the rails, around up and under, then repeats as you tip it up & down repeatedly. I would guess the idea of the toy is to keep the wheel moving as long as possible without derailing from the bars. Do you know what this toy was called or who made them?; Reply

late 70' or early 80's stuffed, pink rabbit: Hi, I have been looking for years for a replacement for a stuffed bunny that belonged to my son and was tragically lost. The rabbit was about 18"-20" tall, pink plush with a cloth, calico, patchwork-pattern body and ears. He had red/pink plastic eyes. He was probably purchased at a Kmart or the now defunct, Fisher's Big Wheel, here in northeast Ohio. I have no idea who the manufacturer was, although there is a very small Gund bunny on ebay for 24.99 whose face looks very, very similar to our long lost bunny. I'm pretty sure this was not a collectible or high quality item. I can send you a photo of my son's rabbit if you like. I'd need your email address. Is there some way to search the individual companies for images of past plush products so that I could at least identify the manufacurer? Thanks for any help, Amy; Reply

wheel-like 3-piece puzzle ride on toy: I am looking for a toy I had when I was a little girl - mid 70's. It was a big circle made of 3 puzzle pieces. Primary colors, maybe. You could put the pieces together to make a circle big enough to sit in an roll around in, or make a see-saw or smallish slide. If anyone has any idea who made this or any information at all it would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you; Reply

wood spelling wheel: I was born in 1960 and remember playing many hours with a toy in the mid 60's to early 70's I would describe as a wood spelling wheel. The toy was flat and circular in shape made of wood with letters printed on individual wood squares that could be mooved freely by hand around the perimeter of the board. You would move the letters around the perimeter of the circle and then you could slide the wood printed squares onto inner straight tracks in order to spell out words or sentences. The inner part had several of these straight tracks parallel to one another inside the circle. The toy was a very high quality item perhaps made by Constructive Playthings? This is just a guess as we did have a lot of high quality toys when I was growing up. I have not been able to get any info on this item. Your help is greatly appreciated by myself and my two brothers. Thnak you greatly. DKBr rattles. Has a ball on the end of the trunk, and a flower coming out of pocket on the dungarees. It's probably about 60cm high. My mum thinks it's made by Fisher Price but cant find it on any website. Thanks to anyone that might be able to help.; Reply
