Thank you for visiting my Toybox and reminiscing with me. I would love it if
you would add your own toy story to this
guestbook I am keeping! Tell me about that special toy from your youth or
just tell me how you liked the site. And note that many people find the site
through the Vertibird page (the coolest
toy ever made). If an entry is talking about some cool toy and the author
doesn't mention which one, it is most likely the Vertibird. Cheers, Sam.
I bought a box of puzzles and with it was a vintage Booby-Trap game. It is the Patient pending edition that was put out by Parker Brothers Inc. I was glad to see your history of the game. Mine has no directions and I found the link to be wonderful. Mine is in 98% shape as the corners of the box has some wear on them. Would be intersted on pricing my new find, but the one I have is hard to locate.

I remember seeing the Radio Shack Armatron in the early 1980's growing up. Still I think you may be right in guessing that it came from the late 1970's though. This is a very cool site.

I had the entire series of the American Basic Science Club when I was a kid. They were the greatest "toy" ever - nothing was pre-built. Some of the experiments took real skill to get to work. This type of science kit made children think, as well as use their hands. Will the day ever return that parents give their kids a cloud chamber with real alpha, beta, gamma radiation sources? I am very glad that I grew up in the era that I did.
