I bought my first vintage toy for our babe on Etsy this morning. I'm not sure why, but I was thinking of this plastic brick set that we used to play with over at Gram and Papa's house. It belonged (I think) to my Dad and his sisters.
Googling around helped me find that it was an American Plastic Brick set http://www.balmoralsoftware.com/apb/aboutapb.htm . I'm not sure how old or which company made it (out of the two that produced them), but I found a box of random bricks/parts on Etsy for $10. Whoot!
What kind of vintage toys did you play with that you'd want your kid to have? At some point I know I'll be picking up one of the vintage little people garages too http://www.etsy.com/listing/83798555/fisher-price-little-people-play-family?ref=sr_gallery_3&ga_search_query=vintage+garage+toy&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=US&ga_search_type=all&ga_facet= (though, we used it with matchbox cars).
Though I did have my share of "girl's toys", the "boy's toys" were always the most fun for me! As far as "girl's" items, I'm looking forward to sharing the original Nancy Drew stories with her. :)
