This is a reprint (with a few changes) of a message I posted about 8-9
months ago or so.  Figured I'd try again.
I am looking for several toys from the 1960's.  The following is a list
of the specific items I am really wanting to find.  If anyone can help
out, I would *sure* appreciate it!  These are listed in no particular
order.  If you have an attic or basement you haven't searched in awhile,
maybe now would be a great time!  I am willing to purchase these items,
but I don't have a lot of money at present.  Still, whatever you might
think is fair, we can certainly talk about.
These should be as complete as possible, and if possible, have original
packaging.  In some cases, packaging would be really hard to come up
with, and in that case, just the toy would be fine.  Well, here's the list!
 1.  Mattel "Creepy Crawlers" set, hopefully with box.
 2.  "Red Raven Movie Records"*
 3.  "Slinky-dog" (plastic dog with slinky body, on pull rope)
 4.  Sparkle Paints, any variety, (looking esp. for Rocky/Bullwinkle set)
 5.  Hasbro's Snowman "Snow Cone Machine"
 6.  "Funny Face" powdered drink beverage cups (from mail in offer from the
     Funny Face powdered drink pouches)
 7.  "Farfel" hand puppet (Farfel was that N-E-S-T-L-E-S choc....late dog 
ith
     the big lower jaw that snapped shut on the TV commercial)
 8.  Ideal's "Fish Bait" game (similar to "Mouse Trap)
 9.  "Mystery Date" board game, from Milton Bradley
10.  "I Dream of Jeannie" board game, Milton Bradley
11.  Outer Limits board game, Milton Bradley
12.  Green Hornet: board game, cards, anything at all
13.  "Batman & Robin" board game, Hasbro
14.  Merry Milkman board game & toy (Hasbro, mid 50's)
15.  Anything related to Beanie & Cecil cartoons (Mattel)
16.  "Giant Blue & Gray Civil War Play Set) (plastic soldiers), from Marx
17.  Playmobile Dashboard - metal & plastic dashboard kids could sit behind
     and pretend to drive.  Ran on batteries; lights flashed, wipers went
     back and forth, etc.  From Deluxe Reading.
18.  Corgi Toys "Batmobile"
19.  "Swingy" the 2 foot tall hollow plastic doll that "danced". (battery
     operated)  Also want the paper record that came with it, with
     the song "Swingy" on it.
20.  "Operation Moonbase" Play Set, from Marx  (1962).  Had plastic moon
     cretor and plastic toys, rockets, cars, etc.
21.  Fireball XL-5 20 inch plastic toy with detachable nose cone
22.  "Wheel-O" toy (spinning disk with magnetic side pins which you spun on
     a wire frame)
23.  Honey West Spy Doll (about the size of a Barbie Doll), from Gilbert Toys
24.  "Gaylord" (battery operated basset hound dog), from Ideal
25.  Any 3 Stooges toys, puppets, cards, or anything at all.
Item 2 are Red Raven Movie records.  They are kind of hard to describe.
The records are meant to be played with a little mirrored "carousel"
shaped thing sitting on the center spindle of a child's phonograph, on
top of the spinning record.  The records, 8 inch colored plastic 78's,
had extra-wide labels with little pictures on them, all around the
outside of the label.  Each picture was offset just a bit from the last
one.  (Like little pictures you might draw on the bottom corner of a pad
of paper, them "thumb" them rapidly to see the "animated" drawings
"move".)  You'd put on a record (78 speed), put the "carousel" on top of
the record, on the little short spindle on the center of your little
record player, and as the record rapidly spun, you could look into the
bevelled mirrored surface of the carousel and "see" a movie - the mirror
reflected the little drawings on the label of the record as the record
rotated on the turntable.  So for the song "The Little White Duck
(swimming on the water)" you'd see a little moving picture in the
mirrored carousel of a little duck swimming across the surface of a
little pond.  I'd take any RECORDS of this, even unplayablely
scratched, if you had any.
Well, that's about it.  Anyone who can help out, I'd sure love to hear
from you!!!
