They don't make 'em like they used to.

This toy tortoise is 40 years old.

It belonged to this little boy's Daddy when he was a little boy.

It comes from a different century, a different millennium!! (As does it's original owner!!)
It has been played with by 2 little boys and 7 little girls in it's life span and still going strong.

It never fails to entertain and delight.

Any guesses who it was made by?
Post your answers in the comment box below. All you need is a gmail account - it's free!!

(N.B. if you are one of the "2 little boys or 7 little girls" or their parents - you are barred from voting!!) -just kidding:-)

It will be interesting to see how many of the toys we've bought for our children will still be around for their children...

How on earth would I know who made that toy??
Apart from blocks and dolls, I can't think of many other toys that will still be around in 5 years time, never mind in a generation gap time!!
