Does anyone remember what the toy I’m going to describe is called or if there are any photos of one?
Its a thick wire that has a handle at the bottom and a little ball at the top. The wire/rod allows a monkey or other toy character to slide down from the top of the rod to the handle. The character has some sort of arm or tail composed of a small spring (like the ones in a click top pen) and the spring usually has a weight at the end like a plastic hand or a ball. To operate the toy, you move the monkey up to the top and then give the spring a little wack. The monkey then boings it’s way as is claiming down from the rod. It makes a spring boinging noise.
Just wondering if anyone remembers those things.
I believe you’re describing a Tin Litho Climbing Monkey.
Here’s an example.
Very interesting but it was that other one with the spring. But this one is really interesting too.
