    1950s Canadian made slinky toy. Green box with white text and illustrations. The lid of the box reads "Famous Walking Spring Toy - Slinky - U. S. Patent No. 2415012 - Canadian Pat. No. 448515 - Made in Canada - R.D. Fleck and Company Limited - Oshawa, Ontario. These were pretty popular back in the day, I know we had one. I wonder how long it would amuse a child for today ….

      It's funny isn't it how those old commercials stay with you

      Haven't seen one of these in many years. We had one back in the 1970's. The original box is great!!!
