Easy-Bake Oven
Just about every kid begged for an Easy-Bake Oven when it came onto the market right before Christmas in 1963. It was modeled after classical 60s kitchens, in a then on-trend light yellow or teal color. Many girls and boys baked cookies for their friends and played house with this uber popular toy. Got a vintage set? It might go for $4,000.
Its hefty value might have to do with how popular the toy became. It’s even part of the National Toy Hall of Fame! Forget the fact real ovens cost less than $4,000 — why not bake with incandescent light bulbs instead?
