My apologies - I'd hate to muzzle free speach!

Next thing, you guys will be seeing flying pigs...

Or maybe that is just me... again.

PS. Today, a toy like this would be labelled unsuitable for kids under 14.
Not only does it work, mysteriously, without electricity, but all those strings will surely confuse the poor child.
Us oldtimers had it tough on a whole different level: We had to learn to deal with things like that.
Besides, the paint is likely to be poisonous, in case aforementioned child starts chewing it ... probably out of frustration.

Agreed - the lack of a USB port would traumatise nippers today.

"A toy unsuitable for kids"...... my God..... "Ann Summers" strikes again.
If the paint is pre 1945 AS are in the clear.

USB port???
You mean that pluggie thingie before bluetooth ?? This sure takes me back to year before last.. those were the days, with vintage computers and cavemen.

I guess, I better get registered here again, so I can post photo´s again.

PS. Ann Summers, huh? I had to look it up. Now I have to edit my browser history.
In fact, that is something that gives the word disruption meaning. How we no longer share common references. (simply too many of them)
