context_page_description: Clackers were toys popular in the late 1960s and early 1970s. They consisted of two plastic spheres suspended on string which, when swung up and down, bang against each other, making a clacking sound. Clackers are similar in appearance to bolas, the Argentine weapon.
  They are formed out of two hard plastic balls, each about 2 inches in diameter, attached to a tab with a sturdy string. The player holds the tab with the balls hanging below and through up-and-down hand motion makes the two balls swing apart and back together, making the clacking noise that gives the toy its name. With practice one can make the balls swing so that they knock together both above and below the hand.
