Happy Holidays to all the Great H. A. M. B. Forum Members

 

mine was a red fisher price car. you know, the one with the yellow roof? might have been playschool brand, but maaaaan, i loved that thing, my parents couldn't get me out of it. They knew that if something was missing around the house, i had probably stashed it in the trunk of my red car haha

I could'nt have a Red Ryder BB Gun.......as my father got shot in the eye with one!!

 

Magic Beans

 

Hess trucks were where it was at!
however, my "Green Machine" was bad ass...I rode it down the stream, into the river, and it got hung up btwn. the two sides of the concrete bridge over Rt. 55. It floated like 5 miles...I never could retrieve it, but, I did stare at it from the roadway bridge for a half a season before it dislodged, and floated further downstream, never to be seen again...it was kick-ass, though...

ALL my H.O. gauge train additions, too...that stuff was always welcome...

 

A Green Machine! I wore that thing out!

 

bummer man but your dads famous hes the one we all heard about.

 

Drag racing track from hot wheels.The two-lane orange one...

 

1971- Schwinn Stingray Junior- still have it plus another 40 Schwinn bikes.

 

Transformers...from the 80's...not the new crappy ones. Yeah, I'm young

 

A mechanical pocket watch. One year mom comes to me with the Sears wish book and asks "if you could only have one present this year...". That was a rough year. Dad was allowed to drive the rig to the bank, but he needed a ride back. Work was slim at best. In the '80's a lot of people up here were in bad shape. I was @ 15-16 at the time. Still remember the look in mom's eyes. My wife and I vowed to never have to have that conversation with our kids...

Still have the watch in a safe place. Doesn't work anymore, except as a memory.

 

A Monogram "Big T"...........that really BIG one!
