Paddleball

.

Continued from product description on Classic Toys & Puzzles' Page One...

Historical Background: Paddleball is an activity toy that every child should experience at least once. The rubber band adjusts through a hole in the paddle to accommodate both beginners and experts. This particular toy is thought to have evolved from the hornbook battledore shuttlecock, which was popular during the Colonial American period. After rubber balls were introduced as a child's play toy, they replaced the shuttlecocks and were attached with a rubber band.
