I didn't know where to post this but wacked it here if ok Mods.
I saw these for sale on ebay and a heap of other sites and thought how cool to be able to own one knowing the history of them.

I actually had a toy called betty beatle that was a clicker as a kid and loved it. Little did I know the history of that thing that drove my parents mad.

Watch "The Longest Day" when you get a chance. The clickers and how to use them get some good scene time!!!!! FTRPLT
