Hasbro Lite Brite

These were originally introduced by in 1967 by Hasbro, and turned a simple concept of a backlit field covered by black construction paper that you pushed clear colored pegs through to create anything you might imagine into a very cool toy. Using the colored pegs to create pictures was simple enough, but the talent part was entirely up to the user. If nothing else, it was a great way to kill some time and stay out of your parents way (this was before they used to use the TV as a baby sitter). These saw several variations as time went on, and are still available today. See ya, and be sure to check back to see more Cool Old Junk...
