Dinky Day – Today We Have A Little Fun.

Mr Potato Head had a boat?

Hey it’s winter and boating around here is inside the house. So why not enjoy boating on your table?  With a quick look around we found some fun small stuff that will for sure give you a fix.

The little hands crack me up.

    Going down to the ocean this morning to stare at the cooooold water, feed the deer and look for snowy owls. Sorry but the toys just don’t give me my saltwater fix.

    The Lincoln Zephyr and rowboat are Kingsbury toys. The company was started at the turn of the last century and operated until WW II by my great grandfather Harry T. Kingsbury. Located in Keene, NH, my hometown. It is embarrassing how many of these I have collected. These are just some!

    Very neat! I had that same pickup truck, mine had a truck camper on it instead of a boat. Still in my moms basement. That is cool that Jim F’s great grandfather owned Kingsbury toys. Nazi Germany must have had China type labor back before WWII. I remember getting plastic toy boats and cars in the late 50s and early 60s that would say Made in Western Germany. Thats how I learned about East, West Germany and the Berlin Wall. Thanks for the memories.

    Okay, so to some it may be booring, but to me, when I’m not busy living the woodyboater lifestyle, these things keep me busy. They also create the atmosphere that makes it easy to relax in. I don’t buy on ebay (not very often, really), but to prefer to find them out there in the real world. It keeps me busy when I can’t be out on the water (long Minnesota winters), and keeps it to marine stuff. Well, some automotive stuff too. But my collections is broken down into smaller divisions and subdivisions also. And it does look better up close. Not all mint, but the patina looks great on some things.
