Stuff you still have from childhood

[weejub]

I have one big storage thing that has all of my stuff in it from High School back. I pulled it out the other night at dinner and went through with the kids. Was a great time

Not many toys left from childhood - it was mostly stuff from high school.

I do still have my Adv Dungeons and Dragons players hand book in there as well as a game from TSR called Star Frontiers. I never really played the games as living in a small town, there just wasn't anyone who wanted to play or lived close by. However, I read the crap out of everything I could get my hands on to include used copies of Dragon magazine.

Yes - Although, I played about every sport possible, I am/was a nerd about fantasy

I just recently got rid of my large stack of Dragon magazines that my buddy Anthony gave me.

All my Boy Scout stuff:



Decided to build a display in my office, added the 100th anniversary .22 LR's from Henry and Ruger, along with the Case commemorative's.

And a bunch of school pictures from the 50's-60's, which I'm not going to post....

I personally took 6th in the sub jr. / under 14 class. not great but not bad for a beginner

hmmm. Dear ole mom threw everything I had away when I left for the navy in 76. The only thing that survived was my old B.S. stuff and my letter jacket. Stuff she could brag about. I had a foot locker full of comics from the early 60s -70s. Original G.I Joes, A Schwinn "Banana Peeler". Now our house is a storage facility for our two daughters' childhood memories.

It seems these are the last of the glasses I collected from Arby's and McDonalds. Looking back at this now, what a strange giveaway for fast food restaurant.

^^^ Love B.C.! Grrrroooooogggggg!!!!!!!!!

Man!!! I remember giveaway glasses. Trying to remember which ones I had. Probably Peanuts or Scooby Doo. Never seen the BC ones. I didn't know other kids paid attention to that strip.

Pizza Inn gave away Ziggy and Garfield glasses... I think my parents still have ours.

We used to have a ton of those jelly jars the Jaycess sold back in the late 70's and early 80's. We used them as tea glasses. Anybody remember the NC Jaycees Jam Scam? My college roommate's father was the '78-'79 National President and was indicted in the federal investigation. The real scandal took place after he left office. It was a big deal here in NC in '79-'81.

@jfz80 Wanna come over to play? Maybe bring some firecrackers.

Original Han Solo blaster. I need to find some C batteries to see if it still makes noise. Anybody wanna trade for a real broomhandle Mauser?

There are some more lurking around somewhere.

I had that set.
I loved it.

 

[nesnaitsirhc]

I can't believe it has held up this long. I took it on 3 Med floats and a handful of other deployments while I was active duty.

I had all of those ,wish I still did.

 

[JohnVee]

I think some of these were from the Death Star.

Not sure why I have these, they weren't mine. I have a bunch of crap that was handed down from family friends of much older kids that was put in the attic and forgotten. I'm guessing this falls into that category.
