There Was My Favorite Toy Ever (when I was 10) The Lone Ranger Atomic Bomb Ring ! I have a scintillating personality!  I had one . Five Kix boxtops (I loved Kix, no problem) and a bit of change and I had my very own Spinthariscope. Take off the red tail fins, get in a dark place and look in the little l ens... ...and you could see scintillation, tiny tracks of atomic particle activity. Oh the thrill. Apparently none of us Lone Ranger radio show fans suffered any radiation damage.  I'm told. My ring finger only glows very slightly. VERY slightly. Funky site
