Elder Toy, Ancient Joys

I only recently found this larger picture of the Baloo 'Jiggler' that I received when I was very young (the line was issued in 1966, so I would have been 3 or 4). I remember I got it in my Christmas stocking. When wound up, the metal mechanics inside made it wobble and vibrate. If you look closely in the second picture, at the bottom of the figure, you can see the round plastic plug from which those metal innards inevitably spilled. Had the shell for a toy or puppet for a little while before it fell victim to one of the parental cleaning purges that happened from time to time before we got old enough to object.
