In the comments, read along for the inspiration, this loopy, unawares, youtube video co-starring Kirk Cameron (”The Way of the Master”, “God’s perfect fruit”)
Start searching, and find eBay Forums: Very old Banana pull along toy with … :
I dumpster dove last night, and discovered this wonderful toy. It’s body is a horizontal 7″ banana with eyes and a pull along string emanating from its mouth. There is one small antenna on its head. Then, on it’s back is a 2.5″ diameter red ball with 9 antennae rising from, each on it’s own metal coil like spring, so the 3 red, 3 grn, 3 yellow balls sway about when the toy is pulled. On each side of the banana are 3 red balls as feet; they rotate and wheels would when it is pulled along. I know that I have seen this before, somewhere, maybe it is just from my memory as a child. I think this would have to go back to the ’50’s or earlier.
Don’t miss the first five or so pages of Google Images results.
