Another one that got away... a fish puzzle that simulates perpetual motion! However a friend of Tim's made a version of the toy for him.

Spiraculum is a magnet toy, made by Joachim Vallet in Germany back in the 1980s.

A door handle that is actually in the shape of a hand...

Tim does not normally collect teapots - there are just too many! Although he does collect teapots that have an unusual function. There is a teapot that he saw at the Frankfurt Gift Fair that he wishes he had bought, which combines a teapot and a lemon squeezer!

Finally, a 1987 toy that was only marketed for a very short time, and Tim wishes he had bought extra ones! A photoelectric panel drives a sound chip, and you get interesting and unusual effects when you move it around in front of a light source.
