Went riding down in Monterey on the former Fort Ord military base. This swing and another like it have always amused me. There’s not much of a playground here anymore. They just stand around waiting for better times. But, they still keep smiling.

Love your website, Hans. Great photos and cool comments and jokes. How about that bird sitting on the electric tower!

The scarecrow clown head is actually a can topper for a 55 gallon drum used as a garbage receptacle. Trash is placed through the mouths on either side.

Does anyone know what these things are worth? I also found a horse on a spring from game-time. Looking for more info….. Thanks, Russ

Russ – The company has a fancy website http://www.gametime.com but finding info on their older equipment is difficult. I’ve searched long and hard for info about the swing I photographed and haven’t found anything.
Good luck on your search.

Wow! We found some old game time clowns at Fort Bragg in an old park! They are on my blog if you’d like to see. Interesting information about the clown heads! ~C http://hatchling.blogspot.com

I have a game time clown wearing black derby hat. I was told it was used in San Francisco at Playland. Can’t remember the name of magazine but Laverne (of Laverne & Shirley) was pictured sitting on a park bench with her feet on top of derby. Clown appeared to be exactly like mine. I would be interested to know if this clown actually was used at Playland in San Francisco.

A friend of ours bought a Game Time clown head at a garage sale for $4.00. We can’t find anything about it – nothing on Game Time’s website – not even an address to contact them! My husband was asked to paint like the original as it had absolutely no paint when purchased. Any ideas?
