Bought: * an original 1963 Easy Bake Oven
in stunning turquoise plastic,
with its box & accessories
* a huge set of 1930s Strombecker dollhouse furniture
* a rare 1960s troll doll
* a bunch of 1930s - 40s radio premiums
(toy rings and badges from shows like
The Lone Ranger and Captain Midnight)
* a prize badge for the winner of the 1914
Galveston, Texas, annual Oyster-Eating Contest
(it was Bob Frey, and he ate 928!)
* a bag full of vintage celluloid dice
* a new book about the history of garden gnomes
I've done my part to stimulate the economy...
I was going to say something about saving for retirement, but by the time you retire, that easy bake oven (not to mention the oyster-eating prize) will be worth a mint.
ReplyDeleteThe way things are going economically in my state, I'm thinking if I even GET to retire, probably all I'll be able to afford to eat will be things small enough to cook in the Easy Bake Oven!
