    What was this toy called
    I am looking for a toy that I had when I was young, but can't remember what it was called.
    It was a plactic handle about 6 inches long aith two balls attached either side. The object of the toy was to swing the handle up and down so that the balls hot each other. If anyone could help me out with the name of the toy, it would be much appreciated.

    I believe the toy that you are referring to is called the "Clacker." I found the following information on this website: Clackers

    They have a picture of it and everything. I was never any good at those things! Ha Ha. I hope this helps you. Have a good day.

    Clackers are the toy with a jillion names. It was essentially two large marbles attached by a sturdy string with a ring in the center. You would put your finger in the ring allowing the marbles or balls to hang below. Here is where the fun starts. The idea was to get the two balls tapping (or clacking if you prefer) against each other by pulling up on the ring lightly. Once you got the hang of it, you could get them going faster and faster until they were smacking each other above and below your hand in a stunning arc.
