The WHEE-LO's Got to Go!

Maggie Magnetic, Inc. produced the first WHEE-LO toy in the early 1950’s. It consisted of a red plastic wheel with a magnetized axle and a j-shaped, dual-pronged piece of curved wire. Simple enough, yet still a lot of mesmerizing fun. I almost put the WHEE-LO in my book and before it got cut, I found an old, electric store display I simply had to have. Now I don't have to have it any longer, so I'm selling it on eBay!

There just comes a point when the closet has to get cleaned out. Still I'll miss the soothing fun seen below.
