Mattel Motor Putt Putt Railroad

The Mattel Motor Putt Putt Railroad was released in 1972. To make the train go, you simply had to twist the smoke stack and off it went! I can remember that it didn't work perfectly... That's probably because we set it up on shag carpet which made the track uneven! Oh, that harvest gold shag!!

Mattel 'Tuff Stuff' Toys

These Tuff Stuff toys, made by Mattel, were released in the early 70s. The mixer worked by pulling a string and pushing the top yellow button to make the mixing blades rotate. The sewing machine also worked by simply pulling a string. Upon release, the foot would quickly move up and down to emulate the sewing.

The shopping cart was perfect for fitting a dolly in the front and for placing the Tuff Stuff food in the basket. My sister and I loved to play store when we were little!
