Description
The toys of the 1950s and 1960s are currently among the most sought after
collectibles, and some of the most popular examples are covered in this book. Nearly 500
beautiful color photos of over 780 toys and collectibles, and a helpful price guide make
this a necessary reference for new and advanced collectors and toy dealers everywhere.
Baby Boomer Toys and Collectibles covers a broad range of favorites from robots and
space toys to race cars, Hanna-Barbera toys, and Beatles collectibles. Among them are The
Official Lost in Space Robot, a hopping Fred Flintstone, and a rare bottle of "With
the Beatles" perfume. Many pieces are shown with their original boxes as well.
Some of children's lasting impressions are made while playing with favorite toys, and
by simply looking at those toys the good feelings return like magic. Children from the
baby boom of the 1950s and 1960s will feel they have rediscovered old friends and
recaptured wonderful memories of youth with the turn of every page of this book. Parents
and grandparents of boomers will enjoy the memories this book evokes as well: that last
dash to the store at Christmas for the one toy their child or grandchild had to have to
make the day complete or the birthday gift that lit up that special child's face with
surprise and delight.
