HISTORY The Slinky has been used as a toy by millions of adults and children around the world. It was invented in 1943 by Richard James and it was first marketed in 1945. Richard James invented the Slinky by accident. He was trying to develop a spring that could help keep sensitive ship-board instruments steady at sea. He knocked some of these experimental springs off a shelf, and was amused by the way they "walked" down, rather than just falling. ![]() |
