Today I was able to buy an exact reproduction? production? of a Corgi Batmobile toy I owned around 1965. I wonder what I would have thought back then of a toy from 1905. Toys generally are now for old people - the young have phones instead.

It seems to be a perfect replica from the UK - initially it felt too small but then I realised I’m bigger than the last time I saw one.

The shop says sales are frantic. #toy #batman #60s

A 3,000- year-old #sword made of firwood found in Lake Inkwil, Switzerland. Most likely, it was a #toy sword for #children. The lake is known for its pile-dwelling settlement from the late Bronze Age (1,200–800 BC).
