Well made classic toy.Gave it as a gift.Recipient loves it.

My friend's daughter really enjoys this toy

I got this for my daughter, age three. It has a metal casing, which is nice, though it is extremely thin and would deform, if not crush, if stepped on even by my child. Still, it seems durable enough if used with care. The colorful beads and bits that create the show at the end of the tube are made of plastic, which is fine. It is colorful on the outside, but clearly cheaply made; still, it works well enough and the price is reasonable. My daughter likes it fine, though more so when it is an activity to do with daddy (perfectly fine by me :) than to pick up and play with herself. For me, it is a relaxing and thoughtful thing to do while swinging lazily in a hammock on a sunny afternoon - hold it up to the light, look through it, turn the end to tumble the colored bits, and behold the wonderful parade of colorful snowflakes. It has no batteries, which I love.I have to say, it's a challenge to spark my daughter's interest in this with so much competing electronica about, but I believe there is something charming and essential in introducing your small one to a world of wonderment actuated, rather than through keystrokes or computer screen, but the interplay of prism, light, and colored bits, and the fact that you never, ever, see the same picture twice. Four stars for a charming and educational toy that is at once nostalgic and timeless.

These feel really well made. Great size for my grandkids. Feel like they will hold up well.

So cute! Although I got this for myself it's clearly for children (hopefully of all ages). Love that it's tin instead of cardboard. Painted with bright colors & has pretty colors inside as well, although cheap beads. Although for the price, what can you expect? I want to also state mine was just placed in an Amazon envelope & wasn't wrapped. But, it arrived in perfect condition! So thanks to my driver. You were awesome!!!

I love this is made of metal! Great quality. Reminded me of one I used to have in late 70s early 80s. Grandson was amazed looking through it. “Grandma this is so cool”

I saw "classic" style tin toy. I did not think it was an antique. Arrived slightly dented but works well. Looking it over, it is very fragile. I hope it lasts more than one day for a 5 yr old. But I'll keep it.
