  • The technical name for this type of toy is a "string torsion device," but finding the name under which it was marketed has been really tough. Here's my research: "Whirligig" on this site http://www.onlinequilter.com/MommyMe/19thCenturyChildrensGames/tabid/275/Default.aspx is similar to what you're talking about. Here's a patent application for this type of toy http://www.freepatentsonline.com/6776680.html Here's a modern version called a "Spinning Disk" http://www.sweetsawdust.com/index.cfm/Catalog/fuseaction/ViewProductDetails/ProductID/3,3343735 Here it's called the "Buzz Saw" www.allynhouseinnauvoo.com/products.php?cat=10 Remove frame Here's the patent for one that whistles spinwhistleexercise.com/ Obviously, I have failed you, but at least you know that your memory is correct. My wife and I will continue the hunt for the mass-marketing name and will let you know if we find it.
