Dude! I HAVE seven of these toys, still in working order 30 years later…my daughter plays with them now. Rub-a-Dub Dolly still has her little hooded towel, too, though the lace is falling off and her hair is mussed beyond combing. I just showed my girl how to use a Spirograph the other day (she’s 5). Fashoin plates? I wanted one of those sooo bad! Excellent list!

Oh wow, I haven’t seen or thought of a viewmaster IN YEARS. I was grown up when Cabbage Patch dolls came out, so I must be quite a lot older, but I had the etch-a-sketch, legos, and spirograph too.

Come to think of it, I wonder what happened to my Spirograph.

Thank you for the walk down memory lane. It is amazing how sights from your past can bring back so many found memories!
