    I didn't know it was a whizzer.. CT Todd pointed it out too. Was a whizzer a kids toy back then? First one I have found.

    Yes a whizzer was a noise making toy that kids played with , many are made of coins or buttons .

    Congrats Calabash. Gotta love that Low Country sandy soil and how it preserves those old coppers and buttons!
