Cowboy Whistling Lasso

Novelty Western Lariat

This ingenious little gadget makes a whistling sound when twirled like a rope lasso. It consists of a stiff cardboard "wing" that contains a steel harp wire with 2 hooks that hold a stretched rubber band. The Rubber band reverberates when it moves through the air, so you can control the pitch by the speed you twirl it.

These toys were sold individually by merchants at Dime Stores, Ma & Pa Stores, etc. The distributer would give the store one Counter Top Display Easel when they first placed the product with the merchant. It holds a dozen of the Whistling Lassos, and would sell these individual packets by the dozens to refill the display.

It has exceptional multicolored western cowboy graphics typical of the early 1950's. One side features a distinctive cowboy on a rearing up horse twirling his rope lasso. The other side has a Stallion leaping forward while his classic cowboy rider throws the lasso. Still in the Original Store Rack Package, Unsold dime store distributors stock. Perfect Condition.
