Today's toys have nothing on the ones in this 1960s Mattel commercial

We had the clowny jack-in-the-box at our church nursery. It was very well made, and lasted for years.

I had a friend who had the Mickey Mouse guitar, and I remember it being kind of awkward to use (the crank on the side – no, not my uncle). IIRC, weren’t the strings made of nylon similar to fishing line?
