<strong>The</strong> San Mateo County History Museum is opening a unique exhibit, Playing<br />
Grown-Up: Toys From the Harry P. Costa Collection. Playing Grown-Up will<br />

mimic the activities of adults. Objects highlighted will include an antique<br />
pedal-car fire truck and airplane, Tonka work trucks, a fully electric 1929<br />
Lionel stove and oven, a G-men fingerprint set, a “Miss Friday” mechanical<br />

children were mimicking through play.<br />
