Challenge: Childhood Treasures
I need to post this a day early as I am going to be very busy tomorrow. We all have those things we had as kids and could not part with. The girls an old doll, or dress, etc. the boys the toy truck, the cowboy gun, etc. I'd like to see them photographed and shared with us here.I myself have many things tucked away and just hope someone will find a good place for them when I am tucked away.
In 1955 at the age of 12 I got this
Flexible Flyer Sled for Christmas. Boy would it scream down the hills, now my body screams down the hills.
This
Ship In A Bottle, even though it was only plastic, was a great prize for me at about 7 or 8 years old. It came from Kellog's cereal, just mail in the box tops, etc.
When I was a kid and my dad wanted me to do things I would tell him, "When I get around to it", one day he gave me this
A Round Tuit and told me to get my butt moving.
On New Year's Eve at midnight my Grandma would bring in the new year by blowing on this
Conch Shell. I was very proud the day I was old enough to blow Grandma's Conch. (Okay Moose, Surfer and Chef, knock it off)
After WWII there were German POW's working on farms and factories in our area. One day my brother found this
German Knife. I suppose it belonged to one of those men. It was broken, but a great find.
This coin, a half cent
Half Cent Front
Half Cent Back was in my dad's coin collection which was left to me along with other old
Coins that he collected, this being a small sampling. Many of these came from overseas during the war years.
So, these and many other things have stayed with me for many years and will hopefully for many more. Now show us what you have kept, and tell us what they mean to you.
