Rare Vintage 1960s Tigrett Industries "Little Orby" Wall Walker Space Creature Toy
Up for sale is a rare vintage 1960 "Little Orby" Wall Walker Space Toy manufactured by Tigrett Industries (Jackson, Tennessee). Made of bright yellow hard plastic with hand-painted blue/black eye details and red mouth accents.
How It Worked:
Originally designed as a novelty "wall walker," kids would attach the rubber suction cups to a wall/smooth surface and pull the string ring mechanism to watch Little Orby "walk" or climb up the wall.
(SEE VIDEO)
Condition Details:
• Plastic Body: In solid vintage condition with no major cracks or structural damage. Minor surface scuffs, age wear, and paint wear on the nose/eyes consistent with age (see photos).
• Markings: Crisply stamped "Tigrett Industries, Jackson Tenn." on the side rim.
• Mechanism: Internal spring spool, string, and yellow pull ring remain intact. Pull string operates.
• Suction Cups: Note that as with almost all surviving examples of this 1960s toy, the original internal rubber suction cups have hardened/degraded over time and no longer create suction (some suction cups are detached inside/included as shown in photos).
An exceptional and hard-to-find addition to any 1950s/1960s space toy, alien collectible, or vintage Tigrett Industries collection!
Please review all high-resolution photos for exact cosmetic condition prior to purchase.
