Pre 60's Weirdness

[Toy Ranch]

I have a peculiar love for wind up insects and such.  Those are cool.  I am afraid to start collecting them though, too much stuff already!  Definitely Beginning of the End!  I just watched that again yesterday!  A collection of toy insects (non-rubber/plastic, although those are great too) would be wonderful to see.

Is that Mickey Mouse with bottle of booze??

No, I just figured it out.  It's a railroad lantern.
