DAVENPORT, IA (Quad-City Times ) -- A Cabbage Patch doll, a toy so sought-after that in 1983, some stores were stampeded during the Christmas rush.
A metal truck made in East Moline that was so sturdy that children could actually ride it.
An Easy-Bake oven so real it actually baked cakes, but also could burn fingers.
These are three of hundreds of toys included in a new exhibit at Davenport's Putnam Museum titled "Play: The Story of Toys."
