A Boy and His Racer


Sender: StarrySky
Text on card: Children On The Farm. A boy starts a racer built by his dad, mid 1950's. State Historical Society of Iowa, Iowa City.

A pic from the 1950's? This would be pretty advanced for my place in the 1950's. Our historical toys of that era are normally of the cheaper variety ie. kites, spinning tops, marbles, slingshots, jump ropes, paper dolls, maybe small tin wind-up toys like cars, buses, trains etc. But not these cool racers. He was one lucky boy!
