These were great for seeing answers to time tables at a glance back in the day, but I suppose once calculators came along they grew obsolete

You would have been too old and too 'cool' for that when it came out anyway.

They make other versions of it but I do believe that this is the original.

This toy was not good for those who aren't good at picking up their feet.

Just sayin'.

I was regrettably never "cool", nowadays just old.

This answer was both a relief and a disappointment.

Thanks though!

This is how you made a copies of invoices or what have you back in the day!

homoe · 03-10-2016, 07:17 PM

These did NOT tell you how much change to give back to the customers

These were strings with glass balls on the end that you smacked together by manipulating the string as shown in the video. If done hard enough, fast enough, little shards of glass would chip off and go projectile missile sailing - flying through the air to, in a piercing hot penetrating fashion way, bore/embed themselves in you or someone else’s flesh. Subject to multiple recalls, the source of numerous lawsuits our parent’s allowed us to play with them until eventually Social Services alerted by our neighbors, threatened criminal charges if our parents did not hurry up and get with the voluntary recall program.
