    I've been on a roll picking up toys from my childhood. Just got a Mustang 15 skateboard made by the Roller Derby Co. I purchased one of these boards around 1965. It was litterally in the bargain basement on a reduced price table. I had never owned a pair of roller skates and the few times I attempted to skate was painful. But this board was marked down to such a cheap price and I thought why not jump on skateboard fad wagon. I didn't know anybody that owned a skateboard and I really hadn't seen that many IRL. I learned to ride it at the school of hard knocks....scrapes, cuts, twisted ankle(major pain!) etc. I eventually got decent at skateboarding. I'm not talking about anything fancy, I just didn't hit the ground as much as before.
    As I mentioned it was made by the Roller Derby Co. They were and still are a major skate company. They were the first to mass produce skateboards. Its got some wear and "Becky C........" the previous(original?) owner is written on the sides and bottom. I got it at a fair price and better condition than higher priced ones I saw. Many years later I attempted to ice skate....once. IMO ice is just as hard as cement, you just slide further when you fall. I hope to share another childhood toy in the near future.
    Thanks for dropping in,

      Cool. I have been pondering getting a vintage skateboard myself. Will stick to level ground.

      Thanks Apache, you can get a lot of the vintage boards at decent prices. I look for soft level ground.
      That doesn't surprise me Thomas, skateboarding started in California, like a lot of things. Some of the kids around here called them "skurfboards" back in the 60's.

      Amen Keramikos, I can imagine it! When I attempted at the rink, I was holding on the rail on the side. Numerous kids, some were probably only 5, lapped me before I got half way around the rink.
