With Christmas just around the corner, what was your favorite toy and is that toy still around today? Mine was a magnetic Old King Cole puzzle. That keep me occupied for a long time. Of course, as a little girl my dollies were pretty special too.

One Christmas, my father had an engineer friend build my little brother and I a two seater go ****. This was before the word go **** was invented. We called it the little car. Maintaining that little vehicle turned me into a lifelong gearhead.

We were so poor we had to make our own toys for Christmas.

When I was in the hospital with polio in 1942 I got a dart bombing game. The plane was a horizontal box with a mirror on the end and a mirror in the middle which allowed you to see the dartboard on the floor. The dartboard looked like a city. The plane contained 4 darts. You would drop these darts like bombs on the board. I haven't been able to find this game anywhere.

My favorite toy was a Barbie doll, of course. And yes, I do still have her, with all her clothes in her own little case! I pierced her ears because my mom wouldn't let me have pierced ears until I was 13. I also had a Skipper doll, Barbie's sister. During a move, I believe one of the movers stole her out of her case.

My favorite toy was (anything cowboys) a two gun holster set and a Daisy air rifle (no kidding). Other than that, it was a Walt Disney book called The Adventures of Mr. Toad, otherwise known as Wind In the Willows.

My mom waited 2 years on a list to get me a doll and doll carriage because it was during the war. It was stollen from my backyard a week later when I went in the house for lunch. Never was lucky enough to receive another one.

They were really my cousins, but I so loved them. It was a set of wooden building bricks, kind of like Legos but much smaller and much, much better. I'd build all kinds of houses with them. I was so sad when I found out my aunt had given them away. I would so love to have had them. Have been looking for them for over 20 years but can't find anything close.

My favorite toy was a Ginny Doll with a small pink trunk full of clothes, some of which my mom had made. Still remember all these years later. Great question.
