On Page 23 of yuor book, you mention Frank Hornby, whose english company produced Meccano mentioned in the erector section, Hornby trains in several scales and Dinky toys - which are also mrnioned in the match box toy section. I would like to nominate these as candiates for timeless toys. P.S. Thanks for a wonderful trip down memory lans, I have just spend a most enjoyable Boxing day reading your book !!

Please do you have any idea where I could get a wonderful game called Cascade. Little ball going up a tower and then falling onto 3 little drums. My children played it and we want out grandchildren to have the same fun. thanks Posted by: sue at November 3, 2007 11:55 PM
