Lots of them. It depends on how old I was..erector set, electric train, walking talky and a 12 Guage shotgun when I was 12 years old.
I did the same things. Were your cowboy guns cap guns? Mine were. Yes, Daisy BB guns were a very popular thing in the 1950s. The city didn't like them because they were CONSTANTLY changing the busted street lights....but it wasn't me! Honest! <GRIP>I had cowboy guns when I was young. We always wanted to play cowboys and Indians, but nobody wanted to be an Indian. Everyone wanted to be Roy Rogers or the Lone Ranger.
That evolved into a Daisy BB gun, but you never went anywhere without riding your bike with your baseball glove on the handle bars. We were always looking for a baseball game.

I played with those too. Did you ever tie some paper or rags to the front of an arrow, lit them on fire and shoot it into a field to lite a fire? That was fun?Bow and Arrow.
Me and a buddy would play chicken with our bows. We'd stand about 100 feet apart and shoot the arrow straight up in the air and see how close we could get the other one. We'd flip a coin to see who would stand with the sun in our eyes, making it hard to see the arrow. I guess it was our version of lawn darts.I played with those too.

I loved that thing! Just couldn't remember the name of it to post it.The Vertibird helicopter toy!
We were so poor my mom cut the pockets out of our jeans so that way we would have something to wear and something to play with....lolMy family was so poor we didn't have toys.
If it wasn't for the fact that I was born a boy, I wouldn't have had anything at all
to play with.
My favorites were the old Newhouse 3's and 4's. I still have them and still use them. Also liked the #3 and #4 Triumph jump traps. I did some work for an old widow woman when I was a kid, her husband was a trapper and she gave me all of his traps.I had a bundle of Blake and lamb stop loss traps that was awesome too. Along with some number 3 jump traps

My earliest memory is of my dad showing me how to set a trap. I think I was 5 year old. I Ave no memory before thatWish I had more.
I was a little older that that but not much. I used to hang out with the old timers, ranch hands and trappers in the area. So now I've been trapping for over 55 years and have over 600 traps.My earliest memory is of my dad showing me how to set a trap. I think I was 5 year old. I Ave no memory before that
