They still sell Mouse Trap. I'm looking at it now on Amazon.
How about its brother game, the Crazy Clock Game? (I had that one when I was a kid and it was
a riot and a half.)
What other bedeviling games can we remember from when we were kids that today's nannies
would probably put on the sh@t list. . .
Tinkertoys
Lincoln Logs
Girder & Panel building sets
Bridge & Turnpike building sets (I had one of those, too, figured out how to build my own version of the
Tappan Zee Bridge with it and the plastic roadways were the perfect width for my miniature cars!)
Come to think of it, there was a toy made in the 1930s that today's nannies would go apoplectic
over . . .
(An electric-powered toy replica of the actual Sunbeam Mixmaster Model M4J, both made in 1934 by the original
Chicago Flexible Shaft Company that was re-named the Sunbeam Corporation in 1946. Kids could actually
use this Toy Mixmaster to make their own cookies and stuff, though they didn't recommend you try anything
heavier because of the small motor.)
