I remember LONGING for one of these in the 60's... they were so much more new and razzle dazzle than the big klunky BLACK ones, and they came in COLORS!!!!

Irony.. my mother-in-law found a later model one and it sits my by bed now... I HATE IT because it is so big, heavy and old-fashioned... but at least it does have buttons.... but she gave it to us, so my husband says we have to keep it....

They were coo[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]l[/font] for about a minute, but never could compete with our imaginations that would turn wood and tubes into swords and rifles.

This is the book I remember getting up in the middle of the night to read when I was in about 2nd grade.

I figured out that if I let my parents go to sleep... the house would be mine.

And I did it. I waited till they had been quiet for awhile... turned on the light.... waited.... and then got my book and triumphantly took my booty back to bed and enjoyed the pleasure of reading before bed for the very first time....

Note that the book cost $.25

Still go to sleep better if I have a book to lull me to sleep...

If I would have been born 5 days later I wouldn't have made the cut.
