3. Radioactive Toy Set


Image source - orau

The Atomic Energy Lab was a toy set that allowed children to conduct their own experiments with genuine radioactive materials. It first went on sale in 1951 and remained on sale until the 1970s. The materials were labelled as “safe” and did only contain low levels of radioactive materials, but I bet there still wouldn’t be many parents in today’s world that would let their young children play with uranium ore.
I hear this the hottest selling toy in Iran this year...

When it was being sold it cost the equivalent of $400 bucks in todays money. It recently sold for $1700. Not a stocking stuffer gift for sure...

We are lucky in this day and age with the Internet and all, when I was growing up we had to buy our nuclear material from some Russian dude on the street...

Top sellers from the looks of it. They put one on a bike, too.
