Life before the Kardashians...

[melissakacin11]

So this is life before Barbie and Ken came along. I LOVE IT!

[WARar1234]

Does know the name of the toy that looks like a bent tuning fork with a magnetic wheel on it ?

[chriswarren44]

It is difficult to imagine that I had at least 40% of these. Had forgotten about them. After my parents died, the executor of the estate threw out everything that he didn't steal.

[ocazfiend]

Am I the only one that wanted to hear bunny foofoo get turned into a goon?

[sexxyperv]

3:38, DAMMIT!!!!!!

[sexxyperv]

2:50 RUINED MY ENTIRE NIGHT! THANK GOD I WASN'T SLEEPY!!!

[theeasybeats]

I had some toys you could have taken pictures of, got rid of most of them, I did take pictures though of most of them

[auntrosie2002]

I still have the New Year's Eve noise makers! I just could never part with them. I also have my skate key in my jewelry box. (I still treat it like gold, haha).

[buzzclick500]

I know I'm going to get into trouble for this, but the doll with the pipe DOES look stoned. ;/

[hansk1955]

Well after seeing the clip I fure I had about half of the toys including the New Years noise makers. Most of the toys would had deemed unsafe today. Its amazing we all survived with no problems.

[MrFrontrowkid]

You found the Daisy Air Rifle target but you don't show the Red Ryder B-B gun. Most of these toys came from late Fifties and early Sixties. No video games or I pods but toys that you could get involved with. What one video game cost today, our parents could have bought us enough toys for an entire year.

[MrYaesu840]

@MrFrontrowkid

I was born in 1956 so most of these toys really bring back the memories. By the way, the cost of toys in 1956 were quite expensive when you consider the average weekly wage was about $70 for a blue collar worker. A S

[steve2713]

Thanks for the memories. They remind me of the good parts of my childhood. They also bring back some stark full-blown sad memories, too, but I'm going to push those back into the corners of my mind where they seem to stay quite well all these years.

[formerbritneyfan]

it wasent my childhood years, i wasent born until 1967 ,i just wanted to see before my time and what i missed , my childhood years were the 1970's.

[mistressofaminer]

Thank You so much! I feel like i'm back in my room sitting on the floor without a care in the world.

[grizzleybearz282004]

[alan59able]

thanks so much for your creation GloryMac, my wife had a doll called Pauline who sadly demised after being in front of the fire, i recall a few of the images myself, wonderful memories...very clever work

[jennyjames11able]

[mistiinseattle]

Thanks for the memories? :) I could still sing the songs and do the motions, ha

[youbetrollin10]

What is with this music?

[SkateborderX12]

Holy cow,im 19 and thses toys are much better than today!!!

[rick6393]

Born in the 1950s here with 3 brothers and sisters . We had about half of that stuff, Many toys back then like the tinker toys and Fisher Price were still made out of wood back then.

[lhcarter]

I still have my Tiny Tears doll (leg ripped off, tho), also had the Chinese Checkers, cash register, etc. Also they sure knew how to make a good dollhouse then.

[paulallen34]

love all these old toys from the 1950's.i still have a cuddly dog called lazy bones which i got bought for me when i was 6 months old im now 54.

[lolxelzaxlol]

I LOVE these toys i wish i grew up in the 50s that woul've been awesome!!!

[Sheri451]

I was born in the 60s. The toys I got are long gone, my Mother threw them away. She always got in a throw it away craze and always when we weren't home she'd start throwing toys away. She was always taking "nerve" pills and screaming that "You're driving me crazy!" My sister is just like her. She's Bi Polar. I believe my mother is too.

[valekiwi]

can someone tell me the name of the toy at 3:32 my grand mother would be so grateful!! =) thnku!

[datzfast]

toys, they must have been pretty cool for the average american.

[datzfast]

i wanted a easy bake oven because i was always hungry. fuck childhood.

[PaulSAUK]

Oh heck I feel old

[BushmasterXM15E2S]

I heard that 1950's children actually had more toy than kids do now but most of the toys they had were cheap plastic and paper. Most of the kids toys now are expensive like game consoles, computers, cell phones and now we're seeing more and more of those electric scooters.

[perfume1965]

@BushmasterXM15E2S They did have more toys because obviously there weren't any computers, game consoles etc Kids now want to spend more time on the computer rather than play with toys. I used to play with my Disney Collection when I was small.

[glasscitadel12]

[dmc081]

[mafiaman109]

[dolliciousart]

There is such charm to this period, and all the free toys too in cereal boxes, etc...thanks...

[ShelleyGirl51]

Fantastic...thank you!!

[Meeshkamybaby]

[bubsturtle]

I had that little blue sewing machine!

[lidijakljuc]

Those bring childhood memories.I remember playing with some those toys.They had them then and they still have them only better quality.Some Toys these days are getting worse and kids are playing more with video games no wonder kids are getting dumb and so fat.Why cant kids play with normal toys and outside like we did the older generations before video games.Parents are too afraid then were sex offenders and criminals so what people did not think of that back then.I was never in the house,24yrs

[ratchetsgirl123]

I'm sure you'll be glad to know that I'm 13 and I dress like the 50's and am out a lot. Your right, it is a sham how our world is. If only it was like back then.

[ScarTissue111907]

this is all very nice but what did the black kids have to play with?

[GloryMac]

They made those kind of horses for many years......yours probably was a newer one, unless it had been passed down to you. Being 9, I am surprised you even looked at my video. Thank you for your interest.

[subforsubx]

Holy Crap. i use to have the horse at :54. And i'm only 19. I probaly sould have kept better care of it. (almost broke my nose with it) :)

[GraymoBabe]

Oh my! Those look like my skates, and of course the key, lol! Great video. I remember almost every toy. I guess I am older than dirt!

[GloryMac]

I think I was one of the first latch key kids...I wore my house key and skate key around my neck as if they were made of gold.

[lottopluslotto]

Fantastic.Piece of heaven.

[StewedTomato]
