   We received the following response about toys that are missed or bring back   
   specific memories: :   
   "Books, books and more books!  I loved reading and picked up every Judy Bolton   
   or Trixie Belden or Kay Tracey or Nancy Drew I could find.  Today, I have many   
   of the girls' series books in my library and when I see them I love the   
   feeling I get.  Same as when I go into a used book store and find the vintage   
   children's section.  I get the warm fuzzies!  Noella"

   "Here is an old tool marked "ROESCH TOOL PRODS LA 34 CAL" This tool looks like   
   some kind of crimping/bending tool.  The tool has a handle like a set of   
   pliers with a wide jaw.  The jaw is smooth with no teeth and is 3-3/8 inches   
   wide.  The tool is 8-3/4 inches long and appears to be very old.  I can't find   
   anything like it on the internet.  Bruce L."

   "Dear Phil, I purchased this beautiful green art glass vase at a tag sale and   
   have spent a lot of time researching it without any luck.  Perhaps one of your   
   readers can help.  Vase measures 8CÇØ high, 8CÇØ at widest - including applied   
   decoration (rigaree), 6.5 inches wide without rigaree and 4 inches deep at   
   base.  Many thanks, Nancy G."
