Evel Knievel Stunt Set

The 1970s may well have been the decade that taste forgot but it was peppered with all-American heroes: from the Six Million Dollar Man and Vegas-era Elvis to Fonzie, Muhammad Ali and Burt Reynolds. But for lovers of derring-do, there was only one idol worth worshipping: Evel Knievel.

Whether he was plummeting down a canyon, careering headfirst into the side of Caesar's Palace, or going for a burton whilst attempting to leap over a load of London buses, our bourbon-soaked hero managed to generate more column inches than any other accident-prone stuntman in history.

Etch-A-Sketch

Before computers took over the world, Etch-A-Sketch featured the most gawped at screen in gaming. And that's pretty impressive for a relatively primitive device used for drawing blocky houses with smoky chimneys and outlines of skyscrapers. (Well that's all we could manage).

But punters just couldn't stop twiddling those satisfyingly chunky knobs and Etch-A-Sketch is now an all-time classic. And classics of this quality most definitely deserve a place in your collection. Whether you're new to Etch-A-Sketch or a veteran twiddler in need of a fix, this magical, take-anywhere rectangle is guaranteed to keep you occupied for hours on end.
