I was going through some old stuff my parents made me pick up from their attic awhile back. I found part of my car collection from my childhood. Included were these Tootsie Toys. I know they aren't worth anything but they are kind of a cool find. I picked them up from various sources when I was very young. My parents bought me some and others came from relatives or hand-me-downs back in the 70's.

I am sure many of you have these yourself, or had them at one time...

Cool, love the Mustang II

I see a few cool pieces in there. Is that dark blue one a Gremlin? I really like the Jeep FC. "Not worth anything" - I guess that depends on your point of view. I have seen Tootsies getting $4 or $5 a pop, so that's not bad. More importantly, they were your Tootsies, so that should make them especially valuable to you. I wish my folks had kept some of my toy cars around, but they all got tossed. :cry:

Yeah, I meant I know they aren't worth $ to many others but I like them! I played with them a lot before I graduated to Hot Wheels in grade school. I remember that purple Jaguar racer being one of my favorites for awhile. I liked the ones with the tow hitches too.

I seem to remember having a plastic silver motorcycle that rode on that trailer. Anyone here remember that?

Got to love those old Tootsietoys, being a collector of these, I have quite a few, here's a treat for you, fresh out of the package (really) for the first time in open air - The scooter!

Thought this was the appropriate time to open it. Enjoy.

THAT'S IT! :)

I'm going to search for mine. Man, I thought that was just the coolest thing when I was a kid. Gosh, I remember that Jeep too. Now where did mine run off too? It's gotta be in there somewhere!


Thanks for sharing!!

Gerald,I can't belive it's taken you so long to open that package up, Its been what??? at least 3 years....Scott

People complain today if there is a little blemish im the paint job on a car... look at the trailer, the sides aren't even hardly painted at all... and yet, we were perfectly happy playing with them.
