Origins of The Roller
This is one of the few quirky (kitschy?) items that made it back East from my father’s estate. It may have once been one of the kids’, dad’s, or even grandma’s at one time. Most likely it was a gag gift from one of the radio station employees…there were certainly plenty of whoopee cushions, “world’s greatest” statues, and clever coffee mugs.
Since it runs off of perpetual motion it will never need batteries or winding.
