Am I so old that they don’t have history for my birth year? No toys back then?

Just came across a reference to a snowplow/salter toy in a usenet group. "Only two left..."

31. 1993: Talkboy Fun Fact: The Talkboy was originally conceived as a non-working prop for the 1992 movie Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. It was released the same day as the movie.
Never heard of it. Did catch the movie the other week, though. Trump had a cameo.

Had all the top ones but Easy Bake...as a boy I opted for Incredible Edibles or the Plastiform gadget

1953 - A newspaper cut and shaped like a diamond glued to balsa strips - a spool of grandma’s string.

I got a Slinky but the end was bent so it never worked.
