The Toys We Played With:
Chatty Cathy Doll: She walked, and when you pulled her cord in the back of her neck she talked.
Tether Ball: A ball on a cord, that was anchored on a pole or street corner sign. You would hit the ball back and forth to one other person, and who ever got the cord wrapped all the way around the pole would win.
Clackers: Two giant marbles on a string, and you clacked them together. If you clacked the longest you won.
