I absolutely had fit when I saw this toy. I snatched it up immediately (for $5.00) and couldn’t wait to share this with everyone here. I love everything about this, the shape, the concept. Give kids some sugar and this toy and watch them shake it up and down by listening to a loud marble clanging around the inside that is sure to get on everyones nerves. Yes, I had to have it. I really love the illustrations as well on this product. Wish it was still in the box though….From 1962.

Beautiful! Fantastic name of product for look of product. So 3D glasses looking. I love the concept of making a big racket just to get some marbles in a hole.
Is there a year anywhere? I’m guessing pre-1956.

It’s 1962. I love this set, wish I had the box too!

Duh, I should have read the title more carefully… 62! The drawings of the kids look so 50’sish.

They look like “Stepford Children”. Which I am dying to see by the way as I heard it’s just terrible!

WInd up! If anyone here comes across “The Children of Stepford”, I will personally paint a picture of their Mother for them, provided they show me this film! I’ve been dying to see this. Here’s a link…
