Do you remember


these wonderful mechanical automatons?

The Musée Mécanique: Good old-fashioned interactive multimedia

I can remember these sorts of toys so well. Before the days of video games and electronic toys, these sort of mechanical toys were fascinating. While we don't see them anymore, you can see vestiges of them in the mechanical coin banks that some catalogues offer as nostalgia items. These are the kinds of toys that fostered my interest in Mechano(tm) sets and things like that...
