Mostly medium-sized. But 5 machines take up separate shelves at my place. I've been saving this collection for about 10 years.
My Schwinn Sting Ray Bicycle... Wow ! ...I was on the top of the world when I got that Bike! - :]
Way back when fireworks were pretty much unregulated. Lady fingers,black cats,cherry bombs and sometimes M - 80s ( that's like a 1/8 stick of dynamite I think).
My favorite was bottle rockets.
We were always attaching them to our balsa airplanes with rubber bands. Never did work but hey,we were junior aeronautical engineers,what did we care? As long as it blew up it was considered a success. It always blew up,lol.

Mine was a silver gray Schwinn, rode the heck out that bike.

Also my basketball and goal that was in the backyard, literally I killed the grass under the goal until it was playable dirt surface. I got to be Kareem or Magic or James Worthy on that court anytime.
