Wasn't there a toy back in the 1960's that looked like a big "8 ball" that had a clear window in it where you read fortunes called Cabala?

I found one on e-bay:

[7.62 x 51mm]

That one doesn't look anything like the "8 ball" I had back in the late 50s/ early 60s. It was black, 7-8" diameter, had white "8" on it, and a flat clear spot where an 8-10 sided "answer" appeared after I shook it.

I saw one recently driving by a yard sale. I was tempted to stop and get it, but didn't.
