I have a similar toy, but instead of cards, each section is a wooden block, so that when it's flipped over and the blocks fall on each other, they make a clacking sound. It's called a Pata-Pata (for the sound it makes), and if my memory serves me right, I got it at the Japanese sector at Disney World's Epcot.

Had one too in London in the 1970s

I've been fascinated by the Jacob's ladder since i was 6 years old and I've made many versions of it throughout the years. I've found a tiny version (only 4 blocks) of it lately and naturally I needed to get hold of it and combine a few sets of them to create a much longer one. Has anyone ever made a Jacob's ladder out of acrylic? I think it'll be rather cool looking.

Thank you for revealing these 2 evolved versions of this fabulous toy. I really had an A-HA moment

I fell in love with the beautiful gorgeous ladies.

Tim you have such awesome variety of toys and curiosities, that to call these your favorite must mean something!

The repair work for pieces so old is highly impressive

Dem beauties, 10/10 wb

So thats what this is called! awesome, I had a couple of toys based on this, its amazing. Great play value

Every toy is his favorite toy!

simple mechanism yet amazing!

When I was a kid my grandfather showed one to me and I was amazed and messed with it for a long time.

it would be cool if there was a jacob's ladder where there was a cop on one side and a bank robber on the other.

I am glad YT recommend me this channel.

thanks for the inspiration Tim.

Hey, Tim and I have the same favorite toy. Neat.

Wow thats cool i have never seen one of these

Wow I never knew what a Jacob's ladder was until now. Lovely pieces of antiquity.

Tim, Thanks so much for your wonderful channel. I'm a visual artist and am working on a "book arts" piece. The format of the "International Beauty Show" that you featured is intriguing and would be perfect for what I'm trying to design. Do you have any idea as to how it was made? If not, can you refer me to any sources that might be of help? Thanks again and cheers, Marie

JAcob's ladder is mine favorite too.

aww how cool

am I the only one who can fall asleep to the sound of his voice like it was nyquil?

Hello! I know this is an old post but I just found it during a search for how to make jacob's ladders. I'm working on a photo project and would like to make a jacob's ladder out of them, but instructions I've found have shown three ribbons, with one in the middle over where the photo would be. Since you've repaired this and presumably know how it goes together, would you be able to give me some tips on how to keep the ribbons just on the sides? Part two: what I would really love to do is make it in two directions- where you could make them drop like this vertically but also horizontally. Is that something you think would be possible or is that a pipe dream because of the mechanics of the thing? Sorry for the long comment, but your passion and expertise are inspiring! Thank you for showing such beautiful examples of these very cool toys.

where can you get one of those

I've actually always wanted to know what his favorite toy was

is the two officer version only using TWO ribbons instead of the normal three? any required changes in how you attach the outer two ribbons? also, how are the ribbons attached to the blocks on that long clacking one from Germany?

I wish Tim would show us the restoration

How do you make this type of ladder without having ribbon down the middle?

I think I can try recreate one

Where does he get those wonderful toys???

so cool just wonder how they work .

Two pairs of strings (on one side there's only one string) holding up each card on both side, and as you flip the first one it will cause the next one to flip and propagate down the line. commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Jacob%27s_Ladder_2.jpg

Arra Neon the ribbons are holding it in one direction and when you turn it the other piece slides across the ribbon and since one end is now not being held up it falls causing it to knock the other one down and make an elegant chain reaction

How does this relate to Jacobs ladder can someone tell me ? Is it based off the motion or ? & I'm sure we are talking about the physics jacobs ladder not the biblical Jacob's Ladder in the book of Genesis. If it's based of the physic Jacob ladder motion it should be going up not down... Really confused...

Jacob makes a nice ladder, but I wouldn’t climb them.

If you look closer the flags on the cover have about 9 stars each and the ones that fan out have over 60 stars. So clearly neither were meant to be an actual accurate representation of the current flag.
