    Vintage Toys: Five and Dime, Woolworths, a Blast from the Past

    A journey back in time - when your allowance was enough to buy you a super cool Marx metal toy, or vintage PlasCo dolly dishes at the local five and dime. In most cases, in the 1950's and 1960's five and dime stores were everywhere, and guess what, a nickel or a dime bought something great. Now these toys today are extremely collectible and finding them in mint condition is a great past time for collectors. Hear a firsthand account from Pat, who takes us back to that place and time.
