Never Too Many Toys

[fncceo]

We are Rome.

Roman life expectancy ... 30.

There's something to be said for padding the playground.

I had the belt buckle pistol and the lawn darts. Still have the lawn darts.

I had clackers.

Saw a kungfu movie where a guy was using something like them. you can fill in the rest.

You still have Jarts? I think I may still have some out back.. SHH.. don't tell anybody.

They're so dangerous. What fun!

Hey, where's that cat?

They are only dangerous if you throw them overhand at the other team.

Lincoln logs were pretty fun.

You had to have a big stack tho. It was the dick length competition at the age of 7. Not to mention I had the new plastic window borders...

Get on my level

Today that would get you, your family and your dog arrested if not killed by some screwball ("feared for my life") cop.

And that is no exaggeration.

I can't remember all the toy guns my brother and I had, but an outstanding one was the "Roy Rogers," a beautifully crafted, silver six-gun that held and "shot" a roll of paper "caps." It came with a holster that looked and felt like real leather and had an adjustable belt.

 

[Billy_Kinetta]

Had one of these, too. Really annoyed the neighborhood!

this was the gold standard in my neighborhood, with greenie caps lol

Wow! That one is much more realistic than my Roy Rogers cap gun.

What are "greenie caps?"

Greenie Stick'm caps. Would stick to the firing end of the cartridge. Some models had spring loaded bullets as well.

You could put an eye out!

I see. Interesting.

Round peel-off caps were stuck on the end of the realistic cartridge casing. Very sophisticated design -- and much more advanced than the paper roll of caps. I'll assume the gun had a fully functional, rotating cylinder. I never even saw those superbly realistic toy guns or I would have had one. I guess by the time they came out I was playing with my S&W .357, etc.

My cap guns were circa 1940s, early '50s. Do you recall when yours was released?
