Pretty big topic - runs the entire spectrum from toys to whatever. Lets get started with one of my favorite items - early illustrated children's books. What have ya got?

[Leonard Shepherd]

I have a couple of kids books. This one is Automobile Stamps. I did a lot of coloring.

This one kept kids from being bored on a trip.

Did anyone do this on a trip?

[Terry Bond]

Wow, amazing you've kept those books. Trip books have been around for a long time. I've got a few early ones in my collection but they've never been filled in. One early one has a page where you can list "thinks killed along the way" while driving. It dates from about 1905. There are also a number of kids comic books from the early 1900s that feature stores with cars in them or illustrated. Here are a few more.

Those are very nice books and i need some more which should be different and give children to work on it of their own,,,,,

Thanks Chris, the Library comes thru again with some superb items! A copy of Petrol Peter is very high on my most wanted list - I've searched a long time for one and have sadly rejected a few because of condition, but there's one out there someplace for me. I'll post something soon about auto sheet music too. As you know, I've got a rather extensive collection. The attached photo is another children's book that I've got.
