A mint in the box Remco Whirlybird. Remco made many variations of this whirlybird. This is the Monkey Division variation. Monkey Division was a line of toys Remco made and touted it as their "Guerilla War" line of toys. The had helmets, guns, rifles, bazookas, etc. Another wildly popular 60s toy put out during the Vietnam era. Toys glorifying war began to wane when the reports of scores of soliders getting killed filled our TV screens and the "Living Room War" we viewed on the news became unpopular, also it was more fun to make Love not War and the hippie era was ushered in. Parents began to object to toys glorifying war. The set also came with 25 soldiers, a tank, a jeep and truck. The whirlybird also carried all the stuff and had a working cargo hoist too. You are looking at a rarity. The soliders etc. are not shown but are still in their original package. I've often wondered how some of these toys these toys remain unplayed with? Perhaps it is old store stock and I've also heard that sometimes parents would leave the room of a deceased child the way it was when they passed. That is kind of creepy to me.

Evil is running amok in an Italian village, mostly in the estate of a deceased pianist where murders begin to take place. What is this supposed evil?... The pianist's hand. This film was one of the earliest horror films to get favorable responses from critics and the public. I love watching Peter Lorre, he was always such a creepy little guy. When I was a kid, I watched this film with my big sister and it gave me nightmares.I always wondered if she did this on purpose because she was always stuck having to watch me when our parents worked!!

This magazine cover looks like it should date from the early 1950s. It's actually a Sports Illustrated cover from August 1995 featuring the recently deceased Mickey Mantle.

On June 16, 1959, George Reeves was found shot to death at his home in Hollywood CA. It's been 49 years and to this day, there is still controversy over whether he killed himself or was murdered.
******************
Here's some interesting trivia about him I thought I'd share today in the Comments Section:

Steve asked me to try this, so here goes. Let's pretend I'm John Daly, the distinguished host of What's My Line. All of you are the panelists. You are blindfolded as the mystery guest (who exists in my mind) enters the studio. The crowd cheers as he/she signs in and takes a seat next to Mr. Daly. Your task is to identify the mystery challenger from scratch. In the tradition of WML, you will ask questions that can only be answered yes or no. Of course the mystery guest is a famous person. The one quirk is that he/she may be deceased. Good luck! May we have the first question, please.
