Ives Prosperity Special - a copper clad train that cost almost $100 in the middle of the Great Depression. This is a photo of a reproduction. The train is huge - substantially bigger than the O gauge Lionel trains.

A real one now in decent condition is going to cost $100,000 plus. The best one known is going to auction in June and I expect it to top $200k.

I'd agree with the Stunt Cycle, but I played with these for hours also






Only picture I could find. It was a board game called Electronic Football, had other sports you put on the board also.

Me too. I had a rich aunt and uncle with no kids of their own and only myself and my sister as nieces and nephews. I got the entire Castle system line from 89-92 or so.

Still have it all in labeled bags.

Two of my favorite outside toys.

Old Testers rocket set with the solid fuel cells and by far the best thing ever created, the Cox, trainer with the .049 engine.

Mine are all in big bins all mixed together... but I could download the instructions and recreate both of those.

It was fun, but my Six Million Dollar Man and Evel Knevel rank higher for me.
