Skippy-Racer scooter

Scooters are back—every kid on the block, it seems, has a Razor scooter. The foot-powered transport was first popular in the 1930s, and the Skippy Racer would have been the most “keen” way to get around the neighborhood. But its $4.95 price tag (equal to about $90 in 2015) was quite high then, out of reach for many kids during the Great Depression.
