Made of plastic, these went inside 45 RPM vinyl records to fit the 1/4" centering spindle on record players.


These were toys that went by many names but many called them "Click-Clacks".
You would hold the center ring and move & time your hand up & down to force the balls to contact at the 6:00 and 12:00 position, thus creating a click clack noise. Head and hand injuries were common.



8 Track tape player. Before CD's & MP3's, there was cassette tapes. Before cassette tapes, there was 8 track tapes. Audio only.



With this you could stack multiple 45 RPM vinyl records on a record player and the records would drop one at a time to be played. Found on most large console record players, but was also available on smaller portable players.
