The GYRO WHIRL - Catalog #46 was another
very popular LMCO toy.
Circa unknown.
This children's musical toy truly must be heard to be appreciated. The soothing Ting-A-Ling
sound it produces when it's spinning is something magical. Circa unknown.
The AUTOMATIC BOWLING ALLEY may be the largest toy made by LMCO at nearly
3 feet long. The wooden pins are Automatically reset by a pull of the ring, which is attached to each pin through
a web of strings. In an instant the downed pins all pop straight up simultaineously when the ring is pulled. It's
quite fun to do! It shoots black marbles from a spring loaded swivel action launcher to knock down the pins. Circa
unknown.
| ACTUAL SIZE IS - 7 In. Wide x 30 In. Long x 1/14 |

Tool Makers - This ones for you!
Circa 1910? - A zero to 2.00 inch depth micrometer hand made by Otto
Langos, presumably before they were so commonly available.
Click the picture to see the hand crafted hash marks and numbering, the remains
of his name in the middle section that has been notched out (sacrificed for the job), and the name Langos to the left
of center. Also notice the scroll work, and the bird (or something) in the middle.
And it should be noted that the incredibly smooth feel of this instrument along
with it's perfect accuracy are as good as the best name professional tools that are available today, 100 years later!

WARNING! This is not a toy.
LMCO made the stamped steel fins for this solid steel WWII practice
mortar shell. In fact this is just one of many items that LMCO had the honor of making for the US military during the war,
which also included huge shell casing, and primers for live ammo.
It is not known if these fins were used in live mortar rounds
also, but it is quite likely they were. Circa 1940
| Actual Size 7 1/2" H x 2 1/2" Round fins x 3 Lbs. |
