battery operated toy cars.">When Lionel Cowen whittled a miniature locomotive from a piece of wood, that only speaks to his creativity, and saw a "Push Train" in a lower Manhattan Store window, he knew he had to invent a circular track and apply the battery to it - the rest is history. This electric driven phenomenon had a lasting common value - that is American Moms and Dads could sit down after dinner with their children, and could enjoy not only the "Lionel Wonder" but the "Family Circle" as well. Truly - it's value given has contributed to becoming an Iconic Legend, symbolized by the Pedal Trains of today. Around the turn of the century, Jukebox makers like Wurlitzer, Seeburg and Crosley would invent a musical box or an Oldies Jukebox, that played cherished musical tunes that people loved. Not only was the sheer glowing machines attractive with bubbling tubes and multiple selections; friends would gather around tables in local Diners, Pool Halls and High School dance floors to enjoy a favorite ballad. A Jukebox had the power to evoke memories that you thought were long forgotten. At one time they were referred to as Joog Box, as farm and plantation workers would slip away in the evenings, and frequent a local "Jook Joint", an inexpensive club or restaurant where laborers could visit with friends and family members taking in music, food and drink for a fair-price, enjoying that "Circle" of friends. At one time they might have been thought as out-dated; but now these musical gems continue to light up any atmosphere, and echo cherished melodies of bygone days coveted by a range of all age groups electric battery operated ride ons. Likewise, several designers are responsible for the innovation and invention of Pedal Cars, but no one else can claim as much credit for this charming creation than Pierre Gendron pointed out by Andrew G. Gurka in "Pedal Car Restoration and Price Guide". Gendron in the late 1800's as a "Pattern-maker" and a "Tinkerer", would create the Wire Wheel, that is used today in most toys and equipment. Pedal Cars have always resembled the miniature Autos of the day. A charm that seemed not only to be in their style and uniqueness, ornaments and features; but in an attraction that allowed children to mimick their Mom and Dad in their grown-up vehicle. Children have been able to pretend in the Pedal Car, to be the Fireman, the Tow-truck Operator, the Policeman, the Racer, or the affluent Entrepreneur, to assume a role right-a-long with their parents. Again - we see a common thread where children are able to identify with those they love and honour, gives reason why Pedal Cars are unique, having a charm that cannot be extinguished. Toys that live on is not only for their many color, appointments and style, rather more importantly for a value that exudes from their early makings that nurtures the Family Circle, supports child/parent relationships and increases friendships, sharing the Iconic Toys of our culture. battery operated toy cars.">battery operated ride ons.
