Advertisement
Many dolls and indoor toys became available in the 1960s, hence the pogo stick turned out to be quite revolutionary. Simple but interesting was the idea behind this toy: stand on a footrest and use motion from your body to bounce up and down on a single point. Along with giving kids a chance to enjoy some fresh air and outdoor play, this exercise tested their coordination and balance. Quickly becoming popular, pogo sticks let children compete against one another in who could bounce the highest or for the longest period. Although pogo sticks are still in use today, collectors especially value the classic 1960s designs. Depending on its condition and rarity, if you have one sitting in the attic it might be worth as much as $200. For collectors, these nostalgic toys are priceless artefacts since they not only reflect a delightful aspect of childhood but also a period when outdoor play was prized.
