    Secret Sam is one toy that I never had.  I was extremely envious of kids that did.  Remember, there were no politically incorrect toys when I was a kid. Check this out....

     Here's one I never had but the commercials intrigued me.  Mr. Machine.  This was high tech in 1960.

    Everyone had a Slinky.  I believe they still make them. I doubt they'd amuse kids today like they did us though.

   Here's another one that I never had but was curious about; the Tick Toy Clock.  Apparently the Tick Toy Clock is so obscure that Google and YouTube never heard of it.  It was a working clock that you took apart and put back together.
    
This was a good toy for poor kids.  Mr Potato Head.  Let the kids play with potatoes. It worked back then.  I believe these are still produced also. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICGrjmJouWA
