![]() Slinky
In 1943 US Navy engineer Clay Watson working on springs that could support and stabilize sensitive instruments aboard ships on rough seas noticed one of these spring "stepped" in a series of arcs from a shelf to a stack of books to a table top and to the floor where it re-coiled itself and stood upright. It was first introduced in 1946 at the American Toy Fair. 2000 inductee into The National Toy Hall of Fame
