Did you ever draw patterns with a Spirograph as a child? I picked up a copy of Kenner's 1967 Spirograph instruction booklet at an antique shop in Alma, Kansas a few months back. The designs are mesmerizing to look at and as I remember it kind of puts you in a trance to draw them too. You can view a collection of the various sets manufactured over the years right here and don't miss this photo of an obsessive Spirograph-ist.

I still have my Spirograph set from when I was a kid, I suppose I ought to dust it off and put it to use. : )
ReplyDeleteNice post. I love nostalgia! I have a pocket version, the regular version from 1973, and another one in a red box with neon yellow pieces that my grandma had in the house for us.
ReplyDeleteYes, time to dust off the old sets and put them to use! I wish I still had mine. Glad this brought back some good Spirographing memories!!

ReplyDeleteI did a Spirograph search and found your blog entry... I thought I'd share a vendor I came across while in India:
