This space control toy in bright turquoise blue dates back to ca. 1950. I'm planning making many more drawings of old toys because  of a sense of nostalgia.  No one better than Bill Bryson to describe the spirit of time of the 50's and 60's:
"I knew how to relax in an armchair in more than one hundred positions and on the floor in approximately seventy-five more. I knew what the world looked like when viewed through a jelly-o lens. I knew how things tasted, pencil ferrules, coins and buttons ..."
This passage comes from "The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid", a book from 2006, describing Bill's youth growing up during the 1950s.  Highly recommended! For this drawing I used some Posca's and I refined the details with colored pencils.

I love how you captured the nostalgia of old toys in your drawings.
