Robot Man Posted September 22, 2020 Author Share Posted September 22, 2020 Antique store find yesterday. Person just called it an “old toy” on the price tag! Probably not a lot of people still around who know what this dated 1922 toy is... jimjum12, littledoom, Black Bat and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted September 22, 2020 Author Share Posted September 22, 2020 And while I was in the case... Probably so wrong by today’s standards but still cool stuff to me in a historical sense. littledoom, Norrin's lawyer and PopKulture 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not a lot of people still around who know what this dated 1922 toy is... My local library had a reprint collection of the Toonerville Trolley strip back in the early seventies. It was fifty years old then and now soon to be 100!! I recall it being a fun strip but the reprint collection of the Gumps was even better. Another unknown character today.

50YrsCollctngCmcs Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 When they first put the Toontown Trolley in Disneyland and actually let guests ride it; it sure reminded me of the Toonerville Trolley! Robot Man 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robot Man Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 Thanks. Amazing that this toy is just 2 years short of a hundred years old! And it works like new. Wind it up and it scoots and rocks all the way across the floor. Scares the carp outta the dogs! Nothing like old tin wind-up and battery toys. Bought my first one at a flea market in the early ‘70’s. jimjum12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Robot Man Posted October 6, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2020 There seems there is so much stress and negitivity in the world right now. It has even started to permeate my sanctity here in the GA boards. Very sad, let’s all just calm down and forge our way through it. “Everything gonna be Alright” Bob Marley On a much brighter note, my oldest granddaughter just turned 6 on Saturday. My daughter, my son in law and my 2 granddaughters came over for a little celebration. She was so excited and just filled my heart with joy. All the carp and misery of life as we know it just melted away for a while. To see life through the eyes of a happy 6 year old made what I am dealing with a whole lot easier.

Let’s all be good to each other and stay safe! Robot Man, You are always thoughtful, generous, and optimistic. Don’t let other’s negativity ever get you down. I retired almost eleven years ago. I would remind my employees that everybody whines and complains, but the truly valuable employees complain much less and are able to figure out how to solve critical issues efficiently, accurately, and quickly. Everybody is nice when things are going well, but the true measure of a person is how they respond when things go badly. Robot Man, you are one of the really good guys!
