Balance toys (or 'teeter toys') were first made as a demonstration tool of the workings of counterweights and centrifugal force. They soon evolved into whimsical and fun objects, never ceasing to amuse and surprise.
The Authentic Models collection of balance toys have been hand cut from metal sheet, and hand painted. Each Balance Toy comes with a numbered tag confirming that they are made in limited numbers.
