Hmmm, mine had a full sized handle, like a bicycle hand grip. Not that little guitar pick looking thing...and the balls were like billiard balls. Those look more like ping pong balls.

I remember getting it going really fast so the balls were swinging up vertical and doing what I’d guess you’d call a “double clacker clack”...then trying to get some poor kids hands or fingers smashed between the balls. IT HURT!

Oh the memories...clacker fights and smashed fingers.

I don’t know what to say about that lower contraption. It looks like the training wheel version of a REAL clacker.

Maybe you're talking about these?



And yes, I remember getting these bad boys clacking at the bottom and the top.... clack-clack-clack-clack-clack-clack. Very fast, keep your fingers out of there. (like this!)

The little cheese-ball version they sell today are simply an attempt to avoid a lawsuit.
