[Football] If you thought clackers were a modern invention...

[Dick Swiveller]

Think again. Just found this whilst having a clearout. A Laclac.



Early 80s I would guess so does anyone know of an earlier one? When did rattles become clackers?

 

[The Clamp]

I don't think anyone thought they were modern. Somewhere in the loft, in a box of my Grandfathers chattels is a wooden clacker from circa 1930. And they have been around long before that.

 

[Dick Swiveller]

Well that is me told.

 

[The Clamp]

Well that is me told.

Ha! Apologies, didn't mean it to sound quite so rude. To answer your question, I think they have been around a while.
