No, I'm not old enough to be from the Stone Age, but I *am* old enough to be from the "Age of Shoe-Shaped Toys Made From Wood"

Ah, wooden toys! Lincoln Logs and Tinker Toys--lots of tiny parts to swallow or put your eye out with! Those were the days...

Toys ~ "smoys" ...I'd be the kid playing with that cardboard box! LOL! [Note to Harvey: Thanks for being head over heels in love with your wife. I dig your Love Notes. I am currently stealing as many as fit my situation. Hope you don't mind. Kudos to you and
your love! ~

I remember those toys in my nursery school! Of course they were
old toys by then.

Dorko - Mind? Hell, that's one of the reasons I *post* them :-)
Lee Ann - Truth be told, these were old toys when they got to ME, too. Judging by the decorations on them, I'm guessing these were originally bought to entertain my 4 oldest siblings, which places these things circa late 40's, early 50's.

There's no date on this picture, but I'm guessing it's around 1970, and I'm just under 4. This was the super-cool, ultra-deluxe swing set that we had in our yard. I'm guessing it's something Dad got from the Sears catalog. Dad got damn near everything he owned from the Sears catalog since the order center was only 3 blocks from our house.
In this picture, Dad seems to be having more fun watching me play on this thing than I had playing on it.
He's probably thinking about the Sears catalog.
Possibly the women's underwear section.
Like father, like son...

We had something similiar growing up and our main goal as we got older was to see how far we get the thing to walk.

I never had a swingset. Just a tire from a tree, but my dad built me a tree house too, so that was cool. . .

We had that swingset too!!! We used to love to see how far we could get the back legs to kick up if you got it to swing too high... then THUD, it would come crashing back down.
I think ours was white with red stripes... like a candy cane... and rust, of course.

When Herbey was a little boy, he used to spank his monkey to the Sears catalog... I think he probably still does... I know he's still spankin the monkey anyway...

Looks VERY much like the swingset I had as a kid, too...
The one I was jumping from, trying to break my old record of sailing 17 feet, and broke my arm instead... *LOL*

Bou seems to think only the older bloggers had this swing set.
Wrong answer! I had it! It may have been a hand me down...but I had it!

I noticed that this is the post dad refit version, notice the U shaped swing bar in the middle..the original lasted about 2weeks with us climbing on it. i liked dads model better 3 lengths of 1" water pipe couple of elbow fittings and dad approved nuts,bolts and
S hooks to hold it to the top bar.

I just remembered that dad soon after bought(with our moms prompting im sure)the aftermarket anchors to keep us from upending it again.

We had the same swingset. I think ours was blue & white.
