This Tin Clicker is an all time classic! Nicknamed Crickets because of the noise they make. It has a spring steel strip crimped into the back of the tin lithographed shell that lets out a loud CLICK when you press on it. They came in all sorts of shapes, animals, bugs, automobiles, etc. This one is from a 1950’s Western collection. This set featured a Cowboy, an Indian and a Cowgirl. This is the Indian.
