Picture of the Day: Jun 23, 2005 | "Krazy Kemble's Kittie in the Kegs."

Hi, I've been on the net trying to locate a 'Kitty in the Keg'. I'm from Australia and I'm trying to find a supplier/retailer. Is the one in the photo an old one or have you recently purchased it.

Thanks

Aneesa

Hello fellow searcher for Kittie In The Kegs. I have been looking for another set myself for years. The one I have was my own toy from the 1950's, and I have had to Crazy Glue the cracks. I use it for an evaluation and treatment tool in my work with children. It is a Child Guidance Toy (the company name), and I have seen two newer generations manufactured over time, each successively inferior to the original. The original is a nice hard plastic with precision threading. The next generation was made with a softter plastic that did not slide smoothly when twisted, making it frustrating for children. The last set I saw had no threading at all, allowing for the simplest push/pull hand motion to open and close the pieces, no longer providing the crucial developmental challenge of a two-handed twisting motion. The more recent version may still be made, I haven't seen them recently. I am happy to not be the only person looking for this wonderful manipulative.
