1962 Mattel Vacuform with Drawer Box

The Mattel Vacuform transitioned Baby Boomers away from hot wood-burning tools to hot plastic molding, the predecessor to hot goop creations.

This working Vacuform machine includes the original instructions and a few plastic sheets for this machine. You can still buy accessories for Vacuform and the plastic sheets at several online stores.  This revolutionary toy set the stage for the need to have burn cream readily whenever you plugged in a toy that mentioned molds.
