Clackers!!! ( real! old ones!)

These are my own,about 40 years old! Made of orange glass, and still with original cord and keyring. They were banned and plastic ones were manufactured instead (in England), due to many wrist injuries - but they were never the same! The plastic used then was much too light for them to work easily...

HOW DO YOU MAKE EM!!!!!

[MrsJosephMerrick]

@morgan10ism What do you mean???Make them work? Or actually ''make'' the clackers??It seems to me that in America anyway you are still able to buy clackers, either on string like the original, but plastic balls, or on plastic ''sticks;'' which makes it a whole lot easier to clack.My ones are real from the very early 1970's.I suppose you could try to make some yourself if you could find suitable and hard material for the balls, then just drill a hole, add string and keyring.:)

@supercoolmario123 Hey, you make me feel REALLY old!!!:):):)...But I was younger than you when I got mine, 7 or 8 years old maybe. My sis, who was younger than me, got bought a blue pair, mine were orange. We were on a coach trip to the seaside, and were bought them in a shop by my mum on one of the stops back(you would say restroom break). :)
