I grew up in the late 50's and 60's. I had Marx Great Garloo, and the amazing Marx Bulldozer. I had Girder & Panel building and turnpike set. Erector set, American Flyer trains (S Gauge) and of course Buddy L trucks, Tonka bulldozer w/backhoe, a Marx Street cleaner that you put water in and pumped up. I had the early Marx-o-Copter, and later the Verti-Bird. I had a Chemistry set too! I remember getting a Spider Bike for Christmas one year. I had a Motorific Rolls Royce and pretended Amos Burke was in the back. My folks wouldn't buy me any "Hobby" stuff, I had to pay for it from saving my allowance. Did model rockets, Weird-Oh's, and Science fiction models (Seaview, Flying Sub, Spindrift, Invaders saucer, Lost in Space Robot etc). I also did magic, starting with a My Favorite Martian Magic Set!
