I have been going to the Hershey meet since the 1970's camp right on the field. Brought back many bikes and cycles over the years, this year I just took pics. There are so many things to see, can't cover it in 4 days.

This was built in S.Dakota in 1939

we have a collection of clackers 5 or 6 sets.
that big monstrosity from s. dakota was a ford 4 cylinder engine/trans made into a motorcycle

And I taught that clackers were a futuristic looking version of a caveman weapon! You should see my kids eyeballs when I tell them about those deadly things that we used to throw at each other while playing with the much more boring plastic current version. :mrgreen:

clackers weren't glass when i had them they were almost like a stone type if i remember correctly they hurt like heck I do remember one set that had some type of coasting on them that made lil explosions (inches from your face) everytime they "clacked" man i miss them times.

clackers were a cast plastic.the first ones had the string cast into them,then later they were drilled for a string.they were outlawed/banned like lawn darts cause they were dangerous[fun]
we would throw them at my brother and try to trip him...ahhh good times...
