Dinky toys, especially heavy metal tanks with chain treads that moved, and the howitzer or antiaircraft gun that you could put a cap in for a bang as the spring shot a ladyfinger firecracker out the barrel.

Those 10-cent balsa gliders.  

And the 10-cent rubber or plastic soldiers about two inches high.

Whiffleballs with skinny wooden or fat plastic bats.

And lately the great Matchbox Collectible 1/72 diecast metal WWII and Korean war airplanes.

here you go see if you can remember the theme song. I know I can't get it out of my head now.

"What rolls down stairs
and over the chairs
and into your neighbor's dog?
It fits on your back,
It's good for a snack,
Everyone knows it's log.
It's log, it's log,
It's big, it's heavy, it's wood.
It's log, it's log, it's better than bad, it's good."
