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.  Besides wanting these just to have (because I had 
these as a kid) I am also trying to put together a 1960's "Hit toys of the 
60's" display for a local fair here.  I think it would be so cool to have 
people my age walk in and see this stuff from their childhood!
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" with mirrored carousel*
 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 with
     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.  "Lost In Space" board game (black box)
12.  "Green Ghost" board game (Ideal?)
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 is the Red Raven Movie thing.  It's kind of hard to describe.  The set 
consisted of 6 "Red Raven movie records" and a little mirrored "carousel" 
shaped thing that sat on the center spindle of a child's phonograph.  The 
records, 8 inch colored plastic 78's, had extra-wide labels with little 
pictures on them, all around 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 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 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 even take just the 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!!!
