Special Notes: A spinning plate (that came with a stick to balance it on while it spun) produced during the national fad instigated by acts on the popular TV show "The Ed Sullivan Show" during the late 1950s. Archer Plastics produced a range of toys from the late 1940s until about 1960. They were an early pioneer of plastic technology and produced 13 toys (space-oriented figurines, futuristic vehicles, etc.) and child guidance products. Rubbery plastic. Very rare.
