These had a habit of shattering into a thousand pieces after a while. Thank goodness the toy laws were pretty lax back then or else I wouldn't have had such fun laughing at people on their way to hospital with major lascerations caused by flying shards.

I used to have clackers in jr. high. I remmember bruising my arm a lot. I still loved to clack them until they were outlawed at my school. I also would like to find another one somewhere?

ohh the pain so much pain

I found a new set of Rubber Clackers in an online store called hereuntilsold.

Someone asked me today what my favorite toy was as a child. I remembered the Clackers! That toy was great! I played with it until they disappeared. I think my Dad made them disappear to get rid of the noise. Where can I get one again?

These were on the verboten list. Can't imagine why, we boys loved throwing things around the house.

Never mind the plastic or rubber ones that came later. Where can I get a pair of these real ones?

I had these in primary school. They were banned because kids were getting big lumps on their forearms from being pelted by the balls. We called them click-clacks in Australia. They were fun. Great site, thanks!

HEAD BREAKERS AND TEETH KNOCK OUTTERS! Never had but sounds like fun or maybe NOT!

i found a set a few years ago in a curio shop-and snatched them up-sadley i STILL cant get them to work as well as some of my other friends could. they were awesome.

Were the first clackers made out of glass or acrylic?

where cold i get clackers from

Dangerous but fun. Loved the sound of them clacking really fast.

Are clackers worth asking my parents to spend their money on them for Christmas? Are they dangerous cause if they r I dont want them.......but I RLY WANT THEM! Plz, could someone answer this question, I've nvr has a pair! Thx!

I use to have these but they were called Ka-Bangers. The Vermont Country Store website sells them under the name Click Clacks.

I have a small supply of these to sell-in original packaging, never used. If you are interested, email me. joycek03@msn.com

In our neighborhood,there always seemed to be a pair of these hanging on the telephone wire.

Just stumbled upon clackers at a thrift store and with a blast from the past I just had to buy it! Now they've drawn me to this site and the fun continues!!! Best 75 cents I ever spent! I had a purple set and they were awesome.

I found them here, EXPENSIVE though! http://www.timewarptoys.com/

where can i find clackers

this toys are the best toys in the whole world

where can i find them i cant at walmart

I remember those and the sound and they hurt like hell!. The repplacements afterwards never came close to the originals.

Here in Portland,Ore in 1972,you could win them at the carnival until they were band,then I would only see them hanging from power lines.

My cousins had these and everyone is still alive and unscathed, not even a ghost of a scar anywhere. Who needs all this safety crap!? They also had yard darts!!!!

I still have my Clackers, I am too afraid to use them, not that I ever had any success with them!

I just bought a set. They were at the San Jose Ca. flea market for $5.00. They were all over the place. All made of GLASS. All the memories of the pain came flooding back in spades. but it's FUN! I bought a Red pair from Mexico. What a blast from the Past!

I have been looking to buy a pair of click clacks...i used to have a red pair and my brother had a blue pair...i think the chipped and were thrown out...had many many bruises but loved them...WHERE CAN I PURCHASE ONE?

me and my twin sister had a pair each when we were smaller.....loved em.....where can i purchase a couple (my sister would love some for xmas) as so would i...

I just got a pair yesterday. You can get them at the Monrovia Street Fair in Southern California. They have pretty much every Friday.

I have a couple of sets that I'll sell for $40.00 each, they a the real vintage sets in Great condtion. rodswmo@hotmail.com

I just purchased a set from www.vintageclackersandpopperknockers.com got them today and they are in perfect shape. Got the orignal package they came in too.

My oldest brother had a pair of these and we played with them .

where can i buy these from

Do you know a place I can buy these from? If you do, please contact me at my email: alexrocksbway@yahoo.com, thank you

I found a pair at our County fair. I can get more and they will cost around $15.00.

I used to beat the s**t out of my brother with these when we were kids...I'd throw them at him like a bolo. Those bad boys could do some damage!

where can i buy a pair for my daughter?

hi, for anyone who asked where they can get them i know where. go to amazon.com

I bought a pair of clackers from a vendor at the Ohio State Fair on the 7th for $5. They are exactly as I remember them. So, I'd check a local fair.

I just found a vintage pair of these in a box of my old junk. I have had these things since 1971. Many bruises on the arm. I would probably sell these things if someone wants them.

There is a more recent toy caled Astrojax that is very similar to these with a 3rd ball that slid freely along the string. The balls are solid plastic, much safer than glass.

people they sell clackers at the swapmeet in pico rivera its like 3 bucks for the small ones

I would love to purchase a set or two of the clackers(original) if anyone has any they would like to sell. email-tlroy@duo-county.com

the sound was addictive...clack, clack, clack. They were banned from my school too. Some kids were doing double clacks (up and down) which led to injuries and general destruction of all matter and life around them. I kept mine for years but I think they went missing about 2 house moves ago. :-(

Had those, lots of fun. Kid urban legends were circulating about how one kid hit the tube on the color TV, broke it, and "all the colors spilled on the floor staining the carpet forever" Funny memories :-)

I have quite a few in the original bags. Brand new never used Brand name Ker-knockers. 40 per set.... Email cool_items4you@yahoo.com

I got a pair off of ebay a couple of years ago....Riggy dig ones from the 70s....One ball is yellow and the other is a grey blue.....They have been put in my china cabinet and only come out at parties....so much more funny watching alcohol induced adults trying to use them.....

I had been looking for a set of these for years, then a while ago 2 1970s sets came up on ebay so I put a bid in £1.99 each. Then the seller messaged me a few hours later saying he had a message from a US member saying they were banned in the US and he was going to report it to ebay, so he said with me being the first bidder he would contact me if they were removed and work out a deal. By the end of the day the bids and watchers were flying in, but the next morning they had been removed. I contacted the seller straight away and he said I could have both sets for £9 inc postage bargain. I love that man and my new vintage clackers..............

I am still looking for a set of these...any help would be great thanks

There was a predecessor to the clackers and it was made with rubber balls. Don't know if the object was the same but this toy was called a "bolo" as I remember it or possibly "wingding". It had a handle with two ropes coming out. One rope was slightly longer than the other, each had a red rubber ball (no pain for failure). The idea was to hold one ball in your left hand while getting the other ball swinging in a circle to the left. This was best accomplished by a wrist motion that made the right hand move straight up and down. Once the right ball was moveing in clockwise direction, the ball in the left hand would be thrown down and begin moving in a counterclockwise direction. The net effect was to have the two balls rotating in opposite directions and looking somewhat like standing behind a propellar. I'd love to know the actual name. I thought they were a Wham-o toy but find no reference from Wham-o.

I remember it took me a while to become a pro at these, but yes, lots of bruising of the arms indeed.

I to this day have a pair of the old style glass clackers they are so dangerous but yet so fun to clack around and show my boys how cool they are.

does any one have 1970s clackers for sale i use to be a master at them until the teacher took them off me and never got them back im 48 now and would love to have another go and hopefully show off to my kids tel 07957443070

We kids used to have a pair of these back in the 70s ( around '77 or '78) when we live on base in Bellevue, Nebraska ; and they were kinda cool, but make alot of noise. The way you used them is quite simple: you hold the ring or plastic flat stick (this was attached to one end of the string), and you mkae the Clacker balls go up and down in a circular motion (kinda like a bat flapping its wings); causing the two balls to hit each other. The faster you hit them together, the louder the "Clacking" sound makes...They stopped making them and took them off the market, because the balls would crack and pieces would end up flying everywhere; hitting people in the head, arm, eyes, etc. and rushing them to the hospitals with injuries.

I still have the click clacks for 35 years. I want to know what they go for know, being that they don't make it no more.

I'm looking for original crackers, had so much fun with them as a kid. Any one know where I might get a pair? Brings back so many memories.

I got a pair or green glass clackers when I was a kid in the eighties. They were my granfathers. They are so old. I might be willing to part with them for the right price. Any takers?

I LOVED my clackers!! I had 3 pair. I don't know what happened to 2 of them but my favs, a pair of yellow ones are safely tucked away in my old toy chest at my folks' house! I goy them in the sixth grade for my birthday. Just like everybody else I was bruised and battered and loved every minute I played with them. We'd have contests to see who could keep them going the longest and sometimes we played for keeps, I actually won 1 of my sets that way! I remember them being green with gold glitter. I was very good at it. Keeping those clackers going was one of the few things I could beat my big sister at, come to think of it I won hers too! They were purple. Hooray for those much maligned and completely wonderful toys!

These were all I could find- http://www.timewarptoys.com/clackers.htm or http://www.vermontcountrystore.com/store/jump/productDetail/Toys/Toys/Classic_Toys/Quick_Clacks/45263#BVRRQuickTakeContentContainerID

Man I had some of those things in school I remember I accidently hit my teacher with one of the balls I got out of school suspension but good times

I had the yellow clackers... what a perfect toy to give to an 8 year old, a pair of glass balls held together by some rope!! I was lucky they never broke.

Who cares about a sharp shard slicing through their cornea at high speed? Who needs eyes anyway? Why ban stuff if kids are having fun, and the worst thing is going blind?

The originals were never made of glass. It was a hard plastic.

I have a pair of glass clackers wondering what someone would pay for these

I would love them brings back good memories

Check ETSY Vintage Stores

I still have the green glass clackers .

If anyone know where I can find a pair of theses I would love to get it for my dad

I had these in 1978-79. The balls were acrylic with the long plastic handle at the top(not the stainless loop). Me and my friends all had one and our school eventually banned us from bringing them, but they were a blast! My forearms were always bruised but I got to the point were I could bang them for 40-60 seconds straight. They did chip and I think my pops made my 5th or 6th set disappear...but then I got a BB gun so didnt care....lol

I would love to have a set of the originals if anyone has some for sale. I remember how fun they were! Contact me at SL916@bellsouth.net please.

I really want to purchase the original acrylic clackers. I live in the UK and it is impossible to find the real thing anywhere

There was 6 of us in our family growing up n clackers were our favorite toy. Would love to have an original glass pair again..

Found a 1966 TV commercial for a version called Klackers by the Miracle Toy Co. (Pittsburgh). They were somewhat large in size, and came in a blister pack. Aired only on local kid shows. Also, from 1969, Ker-Bangers, which came in a plastic bag stapled to a cardboard header. Eventually, production was stopped by government order, as smaller kids would hit themselves in the eye with them.

This message is for anyone looking for an original set of KLACKERS. Leave me your contact information on a COMMENT on here and I will contact you. I have a set of the ORIGINAL KLACKERS that I have had since the late 60's/early 70's. My dad got them for me when we were at the Shrine Circus when I was a kid. I kept them all of these years and they are still in EXCELLENT condition.

mick how much? 904 424 2525

I have a box of about 50 (all in package) in the basement. They've been there since the 70s I've never even looked into selling on ebay. Are they banned?

RC: eBay has several variants of Clackers/Klackers for sale or auction. They're hardly weapons, so they shouldn't be banned. Jump on in and sell away!

My sister had Click-Clacks when I was about 12 (1972) and boy could she make those things fly! Most kids,like myself, couldn't master the technique and gave up but she was a whiz with those things. One afternoon in the garage she got them clacking at a furious pace and they shattered into millions of pieces. We both got many tiny resin shards in our eyes. I still remember painfully picking them out of our eyes with Kleenex twisted into a point to grab them with. Now those were some good times!

Found image of Klackers in yellow-blue-white blister pack. Chrome-colored balls. "Klackers For Everyone" printed. By Miracle Toy Co. in Fresno, CA. From 1969.
