I remember a lot of my toys from when I was quite young, but I do not remember this revolver. Almost looks like a DA grip.

Great old picture Wayno.
But to be a REAL Cowboy you need a Horse and Cowboy Sandals.
This is 1948/49 a weeeeeeeeeeee bit before you :wink:


My Sidekick and our Lemonade Stand.

 

[WAYNO]

Those are some great photos.

I wish the kids today could throw their cell phones away and experience what we did.

Great pictures from both you guys. I have to agree with WAYNO on his "throw away their cellphone" advice. Kids today are missing so many of life's little adventures. Jim, your sidekick reminds me of my first love. A wonderful little Italian girl. Thanks to you both, for a step back in time.

You got that right. When we got out of the Lemonade Stand business I kept the orange crates the wood made GREAT carved swords and daggers. The wood was easy to carve since it was soft and not to thick. We fought many of battles and we didn't put our eye out. We built a lot of stuff from those old crates.
This is what I bought with the proceeds from the stand. I guess it was my first purchase with my own money. I think the Red Ryder was $4.95 and the pump was $7.95 at that time 1949.

Notice the clothes that I had to grow into. Not sure I ever had clothes that fit. Just the way it was being a poor family :wink:

Those pictures look great Jim thanks for sharing!

Friend of my dads had 5 boys 3 to4 or more years older than me. Didn't have a pair of pants that really fit me till about the 8th or 9th grade.

...or if I did get a pair of jeans that weren't hand-me-downs mom bought them too big anyway - so I could grow into them.
