Thaumatropes and other keepsakes

I found this absolutely lovely website of historical toys, games and crafts, and in so doing discovered a name for the "spinning necklace" victorian game. THAUMATROPES! There's a feeling of validation when something has a special name: as though it is important or iconic enough to be titled.
Along with the Thaumatropes are a collection of other toys which I will be certain to delve deeper into in consideration of playful, tangible Nostalgic jewellery pieces.
The "Jacobs ladder" for example, might translate nicely into a miniature plaything, and holds special memories for me. My Grandfather and brother had an assortment of magic-like toys which they found enjoyment in figuring out and then boasting that they had the knowledge but keeping it a secret. Sometimes it is more fun to be the one believing it is magic, I like to think.
