I had one very similar to this. Probably wouldn't be allowed with eyes a kid could choke on.

My 60-year old brother still has an old Teddy, which was my Dad's when he was a kid!

We had one of these. Think my dad picked it up in Beira, Mozambique. Loved watching the "water" move. It had a rotating banded drum instead turned by the heat of the light bulb.

Have the theme from Telly Fun Quiz stuck in my head today.

Nope. Luckily I'm not old enough to remember this. I have heard about it though. Unfortunately I am old enough to not need it anyway.

Young people of today would probably not know what this is. Do you? It was my Dad's from wayyyyyy back when.

Lol my grandfather had them in his study - he had one with a leather bound handle. I also received one from a friend before I went to the UK.

All fourteen plus 75rpm records. Only problem is it seems normal to have experience it all. LOL.

Lol don't forget the rotary dial phones and IBM computers with green writing on the screens. This was in 1985.

The Great Escalado Race. My grandparents had one of these.
