Part 3, Potsdam Museum Toy Exhibit

I continued on my tour of the Potsdam Museum's toy exhibit with this multistory Barbie and Ken abode:

And at its base was a Barbie camper bus:

There was a G.I. Joe display. This was one toy which was far too recent for me to remember:

A Rin Tin Tin and Lone Ranger exhibit. Now these were from my era and brought back lots of memories:

Fess Parker as Davy Crockett and Smokey Bear, more memories from my childhood:

Lincoln Logs and Gunsmoke:

Gene Autry. Finally, some things even older than my childhood!:

More Roy Rogers and Dale Evans memorabilia:

I didn't see any date for this tricycle, but I'd guess it was from the 30s or 40s:

A 1950s Murray "Trac," a chain-drive pedal tractor. These I remembered, though I didn't have one:

I was really fascinated by this tiny, cast iron wood stove and its equally tiny pots:

A Singer "Touch and Sew" sewing machine. I'm not sure, but my sister may have had one of these.

And Lionel Trains. This incredible set dated back to the 1930s:


Trivial Pursuit, Spirograph, Gilbert Puzzles, Erector Sets and Art Linkletter's "People Are Funny." I certainly had at least one Erector Set as a boy and loved it dearly:

And, as the final entry in my presentation of the toy exhibit, a Mickey Mouse Wall Clock, a giant imitation of the wrist variety. I sure enjoyed the Potsdam Museum's display and I hope that you enjoyed seeing it here:
