My first vintage piece is a Bozo the Clown, ceramic (?) piece. I think it's more of a chalkware, but can't find anything out about it. When we would go visit my Dad, this is what he had for our 2 year old son to play with! Jeff would carry it around like a doll, even though it was almost as big as he was. It's almost 2' tall and in excellent condition. I've done as much research as I know how to do, and haven't ever found any this big. So, it's just a sweet reminder of my daddy.
You know you are getting old when your childhood toys are part of a "vintage" post! Ha! We have my DH's Lincoln Logs from his childhood. He turned 60 last year, so that makes them vintage in my book! 
This is my first time to participate in Vintage Thursday, please join me as I go visit the Colorado Lady and all of her other participants at the below address:
Cool old childhood thingies! Love them!
ReplyDeleteWe have lots of my husband's toys and a few of mine...right there with you on the vintage thing.

Glad you joined us for VTT. You will enjoy seeing all the interesting vintage things shown. Old toys are very collectible. I have a few. I have a set of the original pick-up sticks.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to VTT! Lincoln logs were so fun. Love the clown to.
ReplyDeletePS - Your header reminds me of the centerpieces we did for one of the daughters weddings. We used old cowboy boots though. Fun.
Now my brother had a blow up Bozo the Clown, but I've never seen a chalkware one.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors of the clown. He looks so happy.....Christine
ReplyDeleteI love that clown. It's lucky it didn't get banged up or broken.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Vintage Thingies Thursday! What great childhood toys. I love that clown, Bozo was always a favorite of mine! I would think this would be very collectible...so glad it is in great condition. Have a great VTT!
ReplyDeleteHi Sandi! I love your Bozo, and that was my favorite show when I was a little girl! And those Lincoln Logs are so great. I would love to have the can just for the graphics on it! Hope to see you next week!
ReplyDeleteHappy VTT!

I love Bozo the clown and the lincoln logs. I hope there are children in your life to enjoy them still.
ReplyDeleteLove lincoln logs! I had them when I was growing up, and I bought some for my children when they were little... I know I still have them around here somewhere. But your vintage package is cool! I love all construction toys: wood blocks, lincoln logs, legos, etc.
