Here's a toy I've had since childhood. It's 43 years old. One owner. He's a Weird-Oh brand and goes by the name Digger. Age 43, marked 1964 by Louis Marx & Company. A Hawk Model to be exact.
See his extended family HERE.

I'm Senior Art Director - publishing by day, Senior Art Director - publishing by night (sometimes); I'm a Christian (all the time), which is the most important thing of all; a boxing fan and one time fight promoter; and a mid century modern, resale, thrift, and all things vintage lover.

Craaaaaazy! I love it though (shhh don't tell). My brother was really into these kinds of things!
I've done some reasearch since rediscovering this, and Marx Toy made a ton of toys like this. Not that many people still have one's from the 60's though.
grotesquely cute. I'm sure it didn't come out of a breakfast cereal packet, but it does bring back memories of my childhood.
théodore - no doubt the right memory for this timeframe. I think if Digger came in cereal the frosted flakes would have been smashed to bits. But I bet the Weirdo-Oh collector cards that came in foil paks may have been available as such.
Thanks for stopping by. I enjoy your son's Teddy page. What a great dad.
