1960 High Chair Collapses into Bed

High Chair Collapses Into Bed
Since lunchtime for children is quickly followed by naptime, a French inventor devised a chair for feeding that quickly converts into a bed for sleeping.  The chair's table and footrest fold to form the foot of the bed; the backrest folds back toform the head. The canopy for the day-bed slips into a pocket behind the chair.

1959 German toy ~ Rock or Roll

From June 1959 Popular Mechanics Magazine

Versatile German Toy Can Rock or Roll

Here's one kind of toy that should keep a toddler from becoming bored.  When he's tired of using the piece of kindergarten equipment as a make-believe car, he can turn it upside-down and use it as a rocking chair.  With some additional parts, it becomes a seesaw or a push toy.  The idea was developed by a refugee from East Germany.

1948 Knitting Pattern ~ Child's Bunny Sweater

I am trying to get as many of these vintage patterns online so a new generation can enjoy making them.

It would make me SO HAPPY to see some of these patterns actually made, so please post pictures here in the comments section when you complete this project!

If you sell your creations online, feel free to post a link to your shop with your picture.

I am publishing these free of charge, but would be grateful for any amount donation to help offset the time it takes to get them scanned and published.  Even donations as small as 50 cents can help.

Thank you and look forward to seeing some completed projects!
