Currently available is this vintage pair of \"Clackers\". Also known as Klankers, Bangers, Knockers, Ker-Bangersand several other names, this toy was a fad from the late 1960\'s into the early 1970\'s. This toy consists of two acrylic plastic balls molded on a length of nylon cord with a plastic ring handle to be banged together making a \"klacking\" sound with more talented users being able to clack the balls both at the bottom and the top of the swing as well as being able to do two of them simultaneously. Disliked as a noise nuisance, Clackers were eventually banned due to breakage with the balls shattering with explosive force sending plastic shards out and causing injury. Being outlawed as a \"Mechanical Hazard\" and removed from the market, as well as being fairly difficult to master, Clackers, like the Yo-Yo, Hula Hoop, tops and other fad toys faded into obscurity. This set of Clackers consist of two 5.5\" each in diameter orange acrylic plastic balls with metal flakes molded inside with a 22\" length of nylon cord and a red plastic ring. This set of clackers are in great condition. There is some melt marks on the O ring and the string has yellowed from age. From a non-smoking home. COOL COLLECTIBLE!!
