Just occasionally a toy appears on Ebay which makes me go "Yes! I had one of those!". From a time before I held my first rocket I played with more babyish toys and Cubby the Reading Bear was one of them. A beautiful clockwork toy, the bear 'read' his book by turning over the metal pages of his tinplate book. Made in Japan, Cubby has zoomed to the present like a time capsule and I was amazed to see him again albeit online. I also remember a clockwork monkey who banged two cymbals together! Wonderful! Did anyone one else have any clockwork toys like these?
