Slinky is a toy consisting of a helical spring that stretches and can bounce up and down. It can perform a number of tricks, including traveling down a flight of steps end-over-end as it stretches and re-forms itself with the aid of gravity and its own momentum.The jingle in the Slinky 1962 commercial became the longest-running jingle in advertising history.
Everyone sing along!!

My cousin Mary had one that my brother broke and we had to buy her a new one in the early 80's. They were made nicely before the mid 80's - I think that they were mostly the cheap plastic ones after that.
