Today we look back at the Wooly Willy, original mobile toy, self contained with even a little holder for the wand.
Willy had metal filings inside an air tight plastic compartment complete with Willys face.
The object was to use the magnetic wand to move the filings to form facial hair on Willy’s face and head.
First marketed in 1955, with a retail price of $29 cents. I believe they still make Willy today.

A true Baby Boomer hit and my Throwback Thursday item this week.
