Opening Christmas presents with my brother Andy, as my father looks on, and my mother is behind the camera capturing it all on Kodak film.

Department Store Santa 1964

I never liked going to see Santa, but I loved all the toys. Note that Santa's watch is on the outside of his glove. He needs to know when it's break time so he can get a sip from the flask.

Christmas 1965: Texaco Toy Fire Chief Helmet

Even at six years old I knew how to impress the young ladies, use funny hats and technology. I'm sporting the Texaco Toy Fire Chief Eagle Helmet with a working microphone and spreaker. You could buy these at Texaco Gas Stations back in the mid-sixties.

Texaco's slogan: "You can trust your car to the man who wears the star"

Christmas 1962: Santa brings The Playmobile Deluxe Dashboard

Posted by charles

This is the single most coolest toy I ever remember having. It was so detailed: battery powered with a working motor, wipers, signals, horn, sounds, lighted dash board and gauges. In my adult life I've never had a real car with as cool of a dash. Also check out that AM transistor radio off to the left side. I'm sure soon after that was opened, it was tuned-in to WLS playing all the hits from December 1962.
