Drinking birds

The drinking bird is a classic science toy. For an explanation of how it works, go here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drinking_bird

Cap Guns

I don't think these are very common anymore, but back in the 60's to early 80's they were everywhere.
These are all modern, but are pretty similar to what was around.

Made to look like a semi auto pistol, it is really an 8 shot ring cap revolver

You can see where it loads here.

This a cowboy six shooter cap gun, it also uses ring caps.

Another six shooter, this one uses roll caps.

8 shot ring caps. These were more expensive, but louder than roll caps.

Daisy model 25 BB gun

"The first Daisy No. 25 BB gun was made in 1913 or 1914. Regular production continued through 1979. However, in 1986 a commemorative version was issued. This remake of the gun looks very similar to the last regular model made in 1979."

Eclipse Pinhole Viewer

Barrel of Monkeys - knockoff, micro size

Miniaturized copy of an old toy, at 60 cents the price was miniaturized too!

Snaps, old and new

The pop-its on the left have been around in one form or another since the 1950's. The Mandarin Reds are MUCH louder. They are sometimes referred to as "adult" snaps and have only been around for at most 10 years.

H&K P30 Airsoft Pistol

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle glider

Not all toys bring joy. The little glider that couldn't.

Water Rocket

This is a Chinese knock off. The original, which I had as a kid is no longer made. The rocket body was white, with a clear red nose cone. The pump shaft was metal, it is plastic on the clone's.

Clones and knockoffs

Is it real or is it Memorex?

Bazooka men. TimMee original, cheap Chinese clone, and decent quality Chinese soldier (airfix clone?)
I think they made the TimMee clones by buying a set and casting new molds from them, which would account for the lack of detail. The other Chinese bazooka man is on par with the TimMee, details are just as good. While they may have copied Airfix or some other companies design, from the level of detail it appears the mold was made new, and not just cast from a purchased set.

                                 Assorted TimMee soldiers with their Chinese clones.
