Look at what I found in the attic of my house.

[jermz1987 243]

So I decided to do some attic cleaning, while I was going through the vast oceans of boxes and plastic covered sweaters. I came across an old brown trunk, When I opened it had some pretty old toys it. One of them caught my eye because it had that 70s look to it.. It works and everything. It rolls around, stops, then takes pictures. lol Check it out. Tell me what you think, So far I have not been able to find out what its worth, Or if its even worth anything, But If its not worth anything that's ok because its still neat finding things like this. Toys from a simpler time.l

Ebay Jeremy? See how much you can get for it and use the dough for an AR!

That looks more late 50s/early 60s to me than 70s.

 

There are no rainbows and flowers that were all over everything in the 70s.

That is Chinese writing on the box, not Japanese or some other Kanji type language.

Yeah, it's a post-Nixon Chinese gadget. Probably full of lead paint. If it were me, I'd keep it for display. It's a nice collectible.
