"Rescue Me"

I rescued a very bruised and battered Fisher-Price Chatter Telephone the other day, just like this guy on etsy.
I can imagine there are thousands of these old gems lying fogotten at the bottom of toyboxes all around the globe.
I would very much like to "rescue" some more vintage wooden pull-along/push-along Fisher-Price toys so they could keep my Ducky Flip Flap company.

Have you ever found a toy from your childhood at a garage sale or opshop? I wasn't lucky enough to have a Mother who kept my old toys (but I know some people's mums were hoarders, not clear-outers! ), so I have rescued a few memories from my childhood over the years.........
Grouchy Knitting Nancy
Crissy Doll, Knitting Nancy, Mr, Potatohead and Cookie Cucumber.
When I was young , I didn't have an over abundance of toys like kids do today, so my toys were played with over and over again. And the out grown ones were gathered up periodically by my Mum and sent to the op-shop, so nothing remains (except my sisters Cabbage Patch doll in all it's ugly glory!).
Trouble is, I'm doing the same thing. I guess I should be more of a hoarder and keep some valuable memories for my kids in years to come.
