Wow... me too. Banana seat but no high tail. We must have already confirmed our ages are about the same, 58?My favorite toy was probably my bicycle. It was just a little normal bike. I put on a banana seat and stingray handlebars after a couple years. But man, I just really enjoyed the heck out of that thing. I'd ride it everywhere. Off road before BMX was a thing. On the roads to friends' houses. Down to the Ben Franklin. Dairy store for candy. Over to the Little League park to watch a ballgame. Down to the river to go fishing. I think that's the one thing I got the most enjoyment out of.
Large metal trucks and excavating equipment were fun, too, of course.
We used to make the clothes pin guns, but we used kitchen matches as ammo...and put the head into the gun first, so you ended up with a firey missal. Saw one kid get burned after being shot on the neck; needless to say, they weren't too popular with the parents. The old style clothes pins were better and sturdier, but today's models will probably work.
