I remember playing as a kid and flipping the black stick up in the air. The problem was that it never came down. Years later we found it in the chandelier.
We play now and then and use the table as a surface to launch from.

@Roberta,
Also I used to love my Ethch-a-Sketch (drawing tool) game.
I remember the Huffy bikes being very popular in my neighborhood during the 1970s.

I've looked around the net for a caterpillar tractor we had. It was three or four inches long and had the kind of works inside it as a clock. One windup lasted a long time and it was strong. Metal with rubber treads. Haven't found anything to resemble it.
I'm not entirely sure if the toy company was Tonka or another company.
I seem to remember back in the 1970s when a toy company made large size toy metal dump trucks,
tractors, and fire trucks.
This was in the latter half of the 1940s. It's likely Tonka wasn't a company then. This toy I wrote about looks more authentic than the toys I recall from Tonka.
