The fascinating splay-footed comic Snoopy Sniffer appealed to kids from 1 to 6, but boy, once they were a day over that age, they dropped it like a hot potato.

Timmy Time had LEARN in big letters so kids could know he was fun personified.

I’ll wager the Junior Stewardess set was a bit hit, but the real treat was the CLOSE-UP FUN provided by the Famous Brands Kiddy Chest. I had a fascination with miniature versions of real adult things.

Perfect post-war company name: REMCO. It sold for REMote COntrol, originally, but Wikipedia notes that it had other popular products: the Johnny Reb Cannon and Mighty Matilda Atomic Aircraft Carrier. The Medicine Chest was apparently their first product, in 1953.

They also made the Lost in Space robot that sits on my shelf to this day. Thanks, Remco!
