  • Treasure Collector

    I remember this popular toy but can't think what it was called.

    It was a plastic tube on a base. What you did was fill it with water and pieces of plastic (underwater treasure), which fell to the bottom.

    When you squeezed the tube, the diving bell would go to the bottom of the tube and a pincer at the bottom of the diving bell would grab the treasure.

    Does anyone else remember this ? Any pictures ?

    By the way ..... this is a great site....

    Me & my brother had something like that when we were young, I remember the water had to be warm for it to work.

        Lots of versions, but the fashion these days seems to be to make your own!

        Google "Cartesian diver" for lots of examples, but I haven't yet found the right combinations of words to turn up a commercial example...
