Spirograph in 1980

Philip Reed March 6, 2016

The Spirograph (find at Amazon.com*), this time in a 1980 newspaper advertisement from The Deseret News on December 15, 1980. One of those toys I always wanted as a kid, the Spirograph looks as amazing as ever in this ad.

BONUS: The Tomy Mr. Mouth toy/game appears in the ad. And Fashion Plates!
