Minnesota's Greatest Generation

Homemade toy car

Homemade toys were prized by depression-era children, whose families often couldn't afford store-bought toys. This homemade toy car has a rear axle that causes the riders to bounce up and down when the car is rolled. The car belonged to a St. Paul family.
