Received some CJ prizes in the mail today. Ginger, you're a doll for sending them! Thanks
SO much!
I can't wait to see my dad next week and get his reaction.
We've been collaborating on an article for your newsletter and he's putting together a drawing of the "fixture" he developed to drop silver balls into multiple patience puzzles. Going to get him working on the drawing of the fixtures he designed for snapping multiple scissors & pliers together as well.
He's always been a "tinker-er" and since moving from his condo to a residential community, he doesn't have tools or space to tinker. Think he's enjoying figuring out how to do the drawing and remembering the things he developed. Great for keeping those wheels turning.
I am so psyched to receive photos from the other responders who have 50's & 60's prizes. And I am definitely getting that membership app in the mail tomorrow! Tho I'm not a great historian on CJ (other than the boxes and boxes I consumed as a kid!) ... I'll love reading your info about Makatoy. Perhaps we can add something to what you already know.
Plan to sit with my dad next week and my laptop to see if he can identify any of the prizes posted on the other forum.
He's going to love being possibly more fun than Santa!
Thanks again.
