Classic Toy Commercials 50s & 60s

I may be a 2000s/2010s child, but these toys fascinate me. These toys look to be much better quality than the toys of today. 😊😁

I had the Electro Shot Shooting Gallery, so much fun

My Brother had the “Electro-Shot” Shooting Gallery…One of my the Greatest Toys Ever….

Christmas 1969, I received the shooting gallery. Played with it for years.

I picked up a ROCK AND SOC EM ROBOTS took it back to My US Navy ship I wish i could relive that day there was a line for NEXT!!!! Grown men just having fun ...... make a Big Wheel in adult size watch what happens on your block

Received a Christmas gift of a Mr. Machine at 5 years old. Spent many hours watching the gears and the bell ringer. Then the ringer quit. Took Mr. Machine apart. Realized the plastic had worn out. My Dad patched it back as best as possible. I completely enjoyed putting Mr. Machine together many more times. It was the most influential toy understanding engineering principles. But the fourth most educational toy. The plastic was inferior and easly warped. At age 8, i glued strengthening ribs to the main wheel and gears to keep him functional. By that time Mr. Machine was a toy i never played with but always tried to keep fully operational. Age 10, I completely carved a new improved bell ringer from a piece of nylon from a boat door hinge. Mr. Machine got occasional maintenance and upgrades for about 15 more years. But his plastic outgassed so bad, he fell to pieces and dust on his display shelf. There were some mass marketed educational toys 50 to 70 years ago. Today there are still many educational toys, just not mass marketed.

The Electro Shot shooting gallery was my favorite as a kid. I actually have one in working condition and another im restoring. So much fun

I must have had 20 slinkies, it would get bent or messed up and I'd get another one. 😂

The Electro Shot Shooting Gallery was awesome but I quickly learned not to use automatic fire much because it would wear out the batteries fast, even alkaline D cells. Toys like these didn't have AC adapter jacks. It's almost as if they had a secret deal with battery manufacturers....

These were truly the good old days. We played outside, no cable TV, no internet, and the only phone I knew was the one my grandmother tied up on the party line. I knew all the neighbor kids. And I didn't give a damn about tv. We only had 3 channels. And the only thing I cared about was Charle brown christmas. And if you missed it you was screwed.

That kid sure is fast and fancy with them guns.

Shooting gallery was the best toy I ever had, I put twice the balls in it, it lasted 4 years!

There will never be toys like IDeal again.......

anyone else just live 50s and 60s sci fi and space stuff?

I freaked out xmas am when I got the Marx shooting gallery, I refused to go to church so I could play the Marx shooting gallery. Dad removed the batterys. That ended my plan to skip church. 🤯

the space race, superheroes, cowboys/soldiers, and apparently bears made up so much of the boys' market it was crazy.

Used to watch this on dvd with my grandpa

I had the shooting gallery. It was awsom fun.

I once had a lot of energy as a child/teenager. Now im tired, worn out almost 60 yrs old.

I was a 60s / 70s kid. The toys back then were fun. My kids were 90s / 2000s kids and I would search for old toys, like the foam glider or rubber band airplane, rockem suckem robots and such.. It was worth searching for them.
