Still have something you had as a kid?

Somewhere I have a wall poster my fifth grade class made.

Teacher covered the entire side blackboard in paper and allowed the class to graffitti for most of a week.

This may have been progressive education....

It is pretty fragile and is seldom unfolded these days.

An autographed picture of Duncan Renaldo.... you old guys remember him without googling?
My Eagle Scout card. A charm bracelet I gave Mom with all the ranks hanging on it (Second Class up to Eagle).
My Army WWII canteen/cover & belt (too small for my 235 lbs now)

Seeing some of the latest posts reminds me that I also have
lots of Boy Scout/Sea Scout items. 5th grade school class picture.
Lots of black and white photos of scout camp. Our troop was the first to use the new camp at Resics Falls BS camp.
Easters Pa. above the Delaware Water Gap.
The camp opened the year after the BIG hurricane Hazel that did a lot of damage to the east coast.
I also have a pen knife and also a sheath knife that we use in the camper.
And a few neckerchief slide holders,that were made for the wood carving merit badge.
Wow this is going far into the "way back machine" mid 50s.
Thanks for the memories.

Still using a Sears sleeping bag I got when I was 12. (I'm nudging up to 70 this year.) Comfy, fairly warm (not my winter bag), only the antique metal zipper tends to be a bit sticky. Also my grandma's Dutch oven, which works a charm. I think all you have to do is put in on the stove and it does a chicken dinner. It's done a LOT of them.

Those are pretty sweet gloves. I fully understand why you've held onto them.

I'm glad you mention the other item was a bike. I thought it was a blue shop towel.
