Some have been found sealed up in old houses. Toys then were mainly hands on mechanical devices and very playable, exercise required for most. No exercise now just sit and play/integrate with one’s laptop and electronic gaming device. Some rare old toys including dollies are re-appearing in auction rooms very collectable and making big money, more if you have the original packaging. Poet John – Max points for GA today.
