<p>[QUOTE="Mugzinnys, post: 720168, member: 228"]We use to make a similar toy with a large 2 hole button. You would wind it up with two hands by turning the button rotating it foward round and round and the string would get shorter and shorter. Then pull outward and the button would spin backward and forward and your hands would be pull in and out. And it would make a beautiful sound. That was in WVA back in the 50's. We did not buy toy we made our toys. One of my favorite toys was a metal bike rim from a bike and a metal clothes hanger running around with the chothes hanger pushing the rim. Way before Xbox.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
