I always admired that stuff in the Sears catalogs and would dog ear the pages, but other than a cap gun an uncle gave us, we made do with homemade “weapons”. A child’s imagination cannot be bested by anything.
Tinker Toys, as well. Squirt guns. Cap guns.
We would melt down lead we found on the side of the road and cast toy soldiers, ships and airplanes. I still wish that my parents hadn’t given all that away when we moved and I was 11. That stuff is worth a pretty penny.
And I’m sure (sarc) that we didn’t have any lead exposure…

If you ever had these as a kid, then we can be friends. The lawn darts that I remember had a sharpened point which was unlike the British version. It's amazing that these things might have been inspired by an ancient weapon.
Not sure about you boomers, but I had real guns as a kid.
We got to shoot my Dad's guns and could point shoot with a .22 single six at an early age, but we always had to wait and buy our own with our own earned money.
I'm a boomer. Shot dads guns when he would let me. Got a hand-me-down .22lr from him when I was 10. Kept it in my room, along with the ammo, hanging on a wall rack. The next year, got his old Win. Model 88 lever action .308 w/4x Weaver. Hung right above the .22 on the same rack, along with the ammo for it.
But, yeah, bags of plastic army men, green duece's, and being grounded from F'n up my mom's flower beds back in the way younger days. Mac
That was the lingerie section. You think mom didn't know why the pages were stuck together?
those pages were “missing”.
She probably wondered why the pages in the men's underwear section were stuck together.
