Homemade toys (fart machine)!
We were so poor we had to make our own toys…. This was an all time favorite, perfect for your grands! A simple hanger (cut and bent into a U shape) two rubber bands and a small metal washer. You wind it up, place under your legs while sitting, then gently lift your leg until it spins! 😂

Oh I well remember those things, you could even by them in some stores of the era!
We used them by winding them up tight and placing under a seat. They were quite during the set down bur the second the person got off the seat they took off with a rather loud noise! Course in that era we also had the fake shit piles placed in strategic places! |

Still have my 'pocket rocket' but it needs new rubber. That thing was deadly with buckshot. It's over 50 years old now! Also good at launching M-80's taped to marbles or ball bearings. We made the stars in metal shop. They stuck into the sides of the wooden Portable classrooms with ease. This was when Kung Fu was on the air, so it was a big deal. LOL...

These are a similar concept and provide some good laughs at work.

We would bend Mom's bobby pins to make them into a spring-loaded thwacker when pressed against somebody's skin - hurts like hell; I can't find a video or even a picture of one.

Here is an old posting I made some time ago about an old toy my father taught me how to make from the 1930’s. https://www.thevettebarn.com/forums/...1&postcount=41

That's it? We make the same thing but thinner, wind it up , place it in a letter envelope, put someone's name on it and when they open it, scares the crap out of them |
