This toy was invented in Philadelphia in 1943. According to The Strong National Museum of Play, engineer Richard James made this toy by accident. James knocked over samples off a shelf and saw the spring-like toy “walk” down instead of falling.

James’ wife, Betty, created the name ‘Slinky’ and was first demonstrated in 1945 at a Philadelphia department store. At the end of the 20th century, 250 million Slinkys were sold.
