I have in my basement, the toy from Mattel called "vacu-forms'. It was a machine with a handle that, when turned on, created a flow of hot air. You put a plastic square over a hard plastic mold ( it came with little molds like toy cars), pumped the handle and it'd suck the plastic sheet down over the mold and Ta-dah! you had a toy. It's still in its original box, has most of the forms, thenow- dried up paint bottles and probably a few sheets of plastic. The box says copyright 1964-I think we bought this a couple years after that.
I have a Chatty Cathy that still talks(but I got her a few years ago from an estate sale)
Remember the bar of floodlights your dad had to hold up while filming with his Super8 movie camera?

All our home movies have us kids squinting
