The jukeboxes and booths were in diners and the old malt shops or ice cream parlors. I remember an ice cream parlor on Cape Cod. Thinking about it now, I can almost smell the salty air and hear Patti Page singing Old Cape Cod. I do remember those hats the soda jerks wore, root beer floats, and twirling around on the stools.

I remember Winky Dink we would draw with crayons on the plastic on the the TV . Fun show on TV. Oh, I remember Patti Page singing old Cape Cod . Did anyone have the Revlon Doll ? That is before they came out with Barbie . I still have my Revlon Doll today but her body is in two pieces now . Her hair is still lovely and still have her clothes and some my mothers friend made for her . I will think of more . I did very well playing jacks and still could play today if I find some around . Ha!

She had pretty brown hair, pearl earrings, and gorgeous dress and a little fur jacket. They still have jacks out there. Pick up stix too. And in Ogunquit, I saw Tiddly Winks and jack straws. I still have my metal weaving loom for making potholders and it's in the original box. Louisa

Sadie Member Registered: 10/08/04 Posts: 1274 Loc: MD	Lousia , Now that I think of it she did come with pearl earrings and a fur jacket . I bet that was the same doll she was a lot like barbie and barbie came out the next year . I had a Jenny Doll also and she was a lot smaller then the Revlon Doll. Oh, the pick up sticks they were fun I have today my brothers glass marbles in a metal tobacco can . I wonder what they are worth ? Hum...

Louisa Member Registered: 07/11/04 Posts: 2132 Loc: MA	That's funny. I remember the jukeboxes, but not in our drugstores. At least not the ones I hung out in. I remember one drugstore that had round tables with marble tops and the old wooden chairs with the round seats. But, that one didn't have jukeboxes. I'm trying to remember where we had booths. If I can remember it, I can use it in my story. This is a big city. We had lots of drugstores. I wasn't in all of them. Nancy - maybe it was teh same doll. I'm surprised I didn't find her in the antique store the other day. I thought about buying the powder jar with the poodle on top because I swear it was the one I had, but they wanted $40 for the thing. I didn't like it that much. Louisa

wordcharmer Member Registered: 05/18/05 Posts: 69 Loc: Ohio	Did anyone else have a "Mama" doll? I have a picture of me when I was about three, holding two Mama dolls. I searched for years for one like one of those in the photo, and finally found one. You can see the picture of her here: http://www.suite101.com/mypage.cfm/thesacredcircle/21824 It may take a while to load, as there are other pictures too. I also have a vinyl Kewpie, a Baby Giggles and many other dolls. I collect things from my past. I have marbles too, but they aren't worth much, just the good memories. I have a penny bubblegum machine, a Lionel train set, and many teddy bears. Two other good places to look for toys from our past are: http://www.tias.com/stores/tiasexchange/ http://www.rubylane.com/ Just go there and do a search for what you are looking for. Their prices are reasonable too. Thanks for the memories!
