Hi CW Gang ~
YES, this was my toy I got back in the early 1970's. I wanted this toy so bad as it looked so Neat. I loved it so much -- I kept the Box and everything inside it. Please Note the box and the markers state WEST GERMANY on them. In the last pic you will see 3 of the original markers are still with it -- and they still kinda work..... FOR BEING ABOUT 45 YEARS OLD. How come things back then can last so long !!!! LOL, we know ~ QUALITY ~. Anyhow, hope you enjoying see the Special Toy I wanted, and Got for an Xmas Gift in the early 70's !!
Thanks for LOOKING // LOVING !!

Hahahaahah... fabulous! Did you keep your artwork? :-o
(was it later called Gravity Graph?)
NEAT, Rose !!! ;-))
I had one too, but didn't keep it... still remember the smell of the pens :-))
I had too a "creative art" toy with a battery powered turning plate (inside a high edges tray!), you poured/dropped paint on to create WORKS OF ART... And even spilled some paint all around, lol!
Rose,
That's really great!! I love the fact that you've kept it all these years and in such fine condition as well.
Great to know you got what you wished for at a time when wishes were sometimes just wishes, sometimes I had to beg for what I wanted, LOL.
Another one of your treasure trove of toys Rosie! I'm sure it must have been so much fun to play, and even though I've never heard of it, I remember how much I loved making art with my Spiro graph back in the day :-)
Thanks for the ~ LOVES ~

@Rick55 - You set it on the table, the bottom hangs down, and you take it and push or twist the tray how ever you want, and it keeps follwing the smae pattern over and over, but make it smaller. I will look to see if I can find a vid for it!! Yes spirograph was another fav of mine too !!!!
@brunswick - Thanks so much!! yes they were played with, and then put away, like I said -- in that top closet shelf!! I knew you guys here on CW would get a kick out of it !
@PhilDMorris -- LOL Phil. I had a secret trick to get what I wanted!! I was Daddy's little girl !! lol.....
@jscott0363 - Thanks Scott!! Yes I loved it, and did keep some of my toys in pretty good condition. mind you back in the day, I am sure everyone had a CLOSET top Shelf where all these games were kept and stored. Sometimes after that == they just sat up there out of the way, and forgotten about.....
@kyratango - Thanks for the comment. Funny how our lives are so same for being in different areas...That is Neat !!
@bijoucaillouvintage - LOL, Yes I still have some of my ART work ....LOL
