It wouldn't have held a child's interests for too long--okay, there are my toes, now can I wiggle the little one by itself, etc., etc., and after you've tried whatever you think of, you lose interest. But yes--certainly minutes, not seconds. And, of course you'd check it out the next time you were in the store--it would be a welcome, familiar, novelty again--we bought shoes only when we needed them. Like Jon, seven decades later, I too think I'm still okay.

That machine was there I'll bwt from 1947 when we moved to that end of town til maybe 1960. I found a working one in a Sears store in 1968. Seven decades later I am still OK. I think. jonjonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06450649073262987652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953008377950396317.post-42044331536115219092016-06-14T17:15:17.976-07:002016-06-14T17:15:17.976-07:00Just out of curiosity, how long (in your estimate)...Just out of curiosity, how long (in your estimate) did you spend looking at the bones in your feet?

A child could use it--and we did. We didn't have one at home, it was free, no set-up or effort was needed, your mom could see that you were behaving well while she was busy, so of course it was well-used.
