I left it in the loft of my old house when we moved in 1972, but I revisited the house in 1991 and found the ball exactly where I'd left it. Now had it back for 29 years. (It's a yellow one - there were six colours in all.) I don't remember ever seeing them on sale in the '70s though, nor did they seem to be advertised in comics after the initial '60s ads.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075437092819379415.post-39441524356366735502020-05-12T12:35:57.488-07:002020-05-12T12:35:57.488-07:00Wow, just searched for these.
