I'd kill to have them now!!

funny that I had cars as well, and wish I had kept them, I have all my farm animals, they are called Britains and I see them for $5-20 in antique toy shops, I let my kids, and nephews play with them, I have a beautiful dolls house, built by my late father, (a homestead all out of timber) and it has all the gorgeous furniture in it too, I have my original Thomas the tank engine hardcover books which I had long before they were popular on ABC. I also have a stable built by my father, and really well made rubber horses, with leather saddles, and bridles. (bought in UK before migrating) I then moved onto real horses...
I have kept all our kids toys because we have space, unlike my parents....
