My grandmother gave it to me when I was a child. It originally had a sticker on it that said "Japan," but it's worn off now. Still works like a charm though. I'm not 100% sure where she got it, but my grandmother didn't go many places but she did go to the Field Science Museum in Chicago and I'm guessing that is where she probably got it originally. I have no idea what it's worth. I have a trapeze acrobat sand toy, it is in a wood box with a glass front. My grandmother gave it to me when I was a child.

A friend has just shown me her Trapeze Acrobat Sand Toy, given to her kids over 50 years ago & just unearthed in her attic. It's a simple cardboard box, leaked a bit of sand but still amuses well. No markings anywhere. The little figure is similar to others I've seen on the Net - but unfortunately I cannot get any info on him (when/where made, value?) and am wondering - hoping, actually - you may shed some light on it. thanks and kind regards eliz Greetings from Montreal, Canada!
