Clackers are toys that were popular in the late 1960s and early 1970s. In 1968, tempered glass sphere models emerged. In the early 1970s, manufacturers changed them to a hard acrylic plastic sphere suspended on each string. These are in good condition with a few scuffs but structurally sound.
A redesigned version of Clackers enjoyed a revival in the 1990s. The new design used modern plastics that would not shatter and two free-swinging, opposing triangles attached to a handle, with weighted balls at the ends. They are often sold in bright neon colors as noisemaker toys or party favors.
Fun fact; In 2017, the original form of the toy was revived in Egypt and gained popularity among schoolchildren. It became famous under the name "Sisi's balls" referring to the testicles of the Egyptian president Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. The police subsequently arrested 41 clacker sellers and confiscated 1,403 pairs of the toy which they considered offensive to the government. Ships within 2 business days Thank you for looking!
