Wooly Willy, Carefully Combed
A detailed guide to the magnetic drawing toy, comparing its four current boxes, explaining the iron-shaving trick, and tracing its Smethport history.
Field notes
The page distinguishes four versions by packaging, price, ratings, and sales pitch while arguing that each contains the same 7 by 8.75 inch board. Its explanation of the toy reduces the magic to magnetite powder, a sealed bubble, and a wand: drag to build a face, tilt to erase it. A built-in spinner generates a random face to draw, and the site adds a fifty-prompt collection for anyone who has exhausted the usual mustache.
