... our Mom used the track as a weapon of sorts and sometimes the neighbours must have thought we had all gone crazy in our house because Mom would start chasing one of the boys and then the other one would join in the run around the house until finally all of us would be in on it so there we were all six kids being chased and getting whacked sometimes by Mom and that d*** hotwheels track! We would be laughing and crying at the same time... lol

I'm leaning towards "yo-yo" or "marbles". Let's see if someone can find out for sure.

Forbes rates this as the most popular toy during the 1910s:

I have one!

Toy tops have been found in Egyptian tombs, so they have been around at least 5,000 years ago. Also found with them was marbles.

My choice would be a Teddy Bear but I am not sure if that counts as a toy. Please tell me. One for the rich might be a Toyota.

My own first toys that stick in my memory are the rocking horse and spinning top.
