Pull toy
Joseph E. Lake, of Coffey County, received this toy from his parents, Ralph E. and Ada V. (Hopkins) Lake in the 1920s. He believes he received it before 1926, the year he first attended school. He played with it at successive family homes in Lebo, Strawn, and Pomona, Kansas, between 1920 and 1932. His children played with it in the 1950s while visiting their grandmother.
