Hi! I need the name to a simple toy that was around in the 1970's. It's a bb size ball bearing encased in a clear plastic cylander. The idea of the toy is to make the bb travel up a spiral ledge and drop into a notch at the top of the spiral simply by using wrist action and a steady hand. Thanks.

I've seen one, held one, been unable to get the bebe where I wanted it... Sorry, the name is lost somewhere. 30 years is a long time. Best of luck.
