Made by Wolverine Supply & Mfg. Co. in the 1930's. The toy is activated by small ball bearings that drop out of a storage tube in the back. The bearings drop onto a lever to drop that transfers the vertical motion into horizontal, causing the kiddies to rock back and forth on the glider and swings. This toy uses the same stampings as the Kiddie Kampers, a Boy Scout themed version also from Wolverine.

Want to see this toy in operation? Thanks to a suggestion from scandinavian_pieces, I came across a video on Youtube at:

   I have a little photo booth that allows me to control the lighting and I am not beneath doing some Photoshop adjustments.

   Great and I love the powers of photoshop, self taught so not so good but I do love it.

   What do you use Photoshop for? You probably already noticed that the basket and background in this picture were added to the photo of the toy.

   Ha, Thank you for asking : ) - I bodge graphics together for our online company and sometimes tidy up product images. I also love using photoshop which I have just discovered, scripts and processor for resizing - I have done it all manually in the past! I love making animated gifs! It is just so powerful and I dont know probably a 5th of it. YT is great for tutorials : )
   
   ps. I didnt pick up on the basket!

   I have been using the Creative Suite for quite some time and I also feel as if I am unaware of all the potential these incredible tools offer.
