    Steve has just done what every kid in our generation wanted to do: open up an Etch-a-Sketch and see what’s inside!

      It has also saved an untold number of kids being murdered by their parents by taking them apart!

      what magic hides beneath the glass 🪄

    I think I still have mine from the 60's around somewhere. As a kid I remember I took the time to move the "pointer" back and forth, slowly clearing the screen just to get a peek at what was inside. I'm sure lots of kids did that.

    When I had one in the 1960s I went back and forth to remove most of the Al from the glass so I could see what was inside. I could have taken a picture of it but we didn’t have cell phones back then. I finally flipped it over and shook it up to use it again. It’s probably still somewhere in my 90 year old mother’s basement.

    This was probably late 60's or 1970. My dad got so pissed at my sister and I fighting over the Etch-a-Sketch that he grabbed it and tossed it down the basement stairs. Big mistake. Huge mess.

    Those were made by Ohio Art in the small town of Bryan, Oh. I can see the factory from my house and have friends working there. Sadly, the Etch A Sketch is now made in China.
    Side note, the town's other claim to fame is being home to Spangler Candy, who makes Dum Dum suckers, Bit O Honey, Necco Wafers, and a majority of the candy canes sold around Christmas.

    Target still sells the miniature versions of this. Might be worth buying it and reverse engineering it.
