Nostalgia and Vintage History is dedicated to all those fun and wonderful things and occurrences in our past that give meaning to our American journey and our amazing culture. For instance our very first video details the history of camping in the United States as one of our favorite past times. But that is just for starters. This channel will feature historical and popular nostalgia of the 40’s, 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and more. Sometimes we’ll feature amazing history from the 1800s. Everything from vintage movies to intriguing ghost towns to old fashioned toys to great old automobiles- we want our documentary style quality videos to deliver a ride you won’t forget. So sit back and relax with your phone, iPad, notebook, laptop or PC and grab yourself a nice cold refreshment, and enjoy a fun-filled journey down memory lane. There’s a ton of stress out in the world, and it is important to set that aside, and just enjoy some good old fashion fun remembering a time that once was.
the cold jell type molding toys done in the 70s etc were a flop and had toxic chemicals and incredible edibles were dif goop formula with thin aluminum molds and FDA shut that down.
many of the molds etc you listed last half of video were NOT released by Mattel for thingmakers. Disney molds were by Marx for mattels thing maker as were some fishing lure molds by seperate companies in the 60s. jillions of jewels was one set by Tommy toymakers much larger rubber molding toy of the 60s, hotwheels maker was NOT thingmaker but totally dif toy using a wax like material pored into plastic molds much like materials used for injection molders of the 60s by both Mattel and Kenner. then in the 90s by new toy makers like Toymax, Jacs pacific etc. also vacuformer and strange change were different molder/maker toys by Mattel in the 60s and later in 90s by new companies. there were other molds addon sets also. plus metal molding toys pre 1960 by Gilbert then in 90s by those newer companies too. I own most these toys and been collecting them for decades and using them to make toys and details for scale modelers and fishing lures etc. the 90s Toymax metal molders I have 14 in an assmbly line with all 48 molds Toymax made plus 50 more molds I made for instance. thingmaker, injection molders, vacuformer and starange change toys were remade in the 90s some using same materials as the 60s versions but lower temps or extra safety devices with light bulbs for heaters like Kenners easy bake oven. the thingmaker molds of the 60s made by Mattels were over 300 dif molds alone some were double or triple piece molds for 3D items. even double sided. the molds in the 90s wont work in 60s ovens and visaversa due to design changes.
Thank You ! Reviewing the Disney molds is a rare treat, also the various kits in one after the other. The difficulty in finding a working Thing-Maker (oven/hot plate) can be depressing, with a refurbished price of $50. I passed thru the feelings of abandoning the childhood joy of simply playing and owning Creepy Crawlers when realizing how much $$$ happens trying to find the kits...the expired a/o empty Goop bottles have a value as do the made castings. That shreds the fantasy...the fun of creating a toy is what it is.
I am a remnant of a pioneering clan from Oregon. The visit to Virginia City Montana was fascinating and descriptive of our Western history. Eugene Burden, every teenager should be given the opportunity and experience of visiting Virginia City, Montana.
I really enjoyed the nostalgic photography and interesting dialog which taught me about the history of camping. We have always enjoyed the adventure of camping and creating special memories with our great friends! I wonder where the old photos were found? It would be fun to learn more about the National Parks histories as well as information of modern day National Parks. Thank you for making and sharing this video.
Really enjoyed watching this video! Brought back so many memories of camping with my family in our little trailer throughout Montana and the west! I had actually never made the connection between covered wagons and the modern camp trailer, so it was really interesting to see the evolution! I definitely subscribed and I'm looking forward to more videos in the series! It's so fun to sit back and relax into the lovely scenic images and learn something new as well!
Thank you so much Patricia! I’m glad you enjoyed the video! And I appreciate your insight and the fact that it reminded you of camping when you were a child.
