In those years, at the age when playing was more important than wealth or poverty, however, some children’s possessions were always different and therefore they were often envied. While trying to fit the colorful flutes bought from the nearest stationery store to our bag, they became the favorite students of music lessons with Yamaha flutes carefully removed from their cream-colored cloth bag.
We have compiled 20 things that many of us will remember with envy, which were seen as an expression of wealth at that time. If we have fastened our seat belts, we can start a short time travel.
Crayons for children who have the privilege of skin color when painting: Monami crayon
The only monkey that is a sign of wealth: LCW bag with monkey
Architect of airy walks, luminous steps: Illuminated shoes
Helvacıoğlu flute’s arch-rival: Yamaha flute
Wheelchair passing by us in our childhood years when we were hunched over from carrying tens of books: The squeegee bag

The cool vehicle that was more valuable in our eyes than the latest model cars in those years: Battery powered car
Pencil holder that draws attention with various pencils that come out as its compartments are opened: Three-layer pencil case
Compared to the watches we draw on our wrist, the cool watch that can both show the real time and perform operations: The calculator watch

What is left of Tatilya nowadays, neither LCW bags with monkeys, nor the ages when we are eager for lighted shoes… If you remember different things that we couldn’t reach when we were children and maybe that’s why we always forgot to add, you can share them with us in the comments.
