I found a great video from the 1961 Toy Fair which though, missing the sound, is worth watching for several reasons:
• A cameo appearance by Mr. Machine
• A mysterious child wearing a skirt and a bow tie while pulling a chicken• A bizarre giant toy cannon with Confederate flag
• A very funny endingIt’s only a little over a minute so be sure to stay to the end. It’s worth it. Click the image below to be directed to the video site.
