Topps Flying Things

The art on these 1960's Topps Flying Things bear a striking resemblance to the art of Ed "Big Daddy" Roth, and I'm sure it's no coincidence.  Capitalizing on that Rat Fink style, these originally sold individually for 10 cents each.

More recently, these were re-released under a different manufacturer, possibly Playing Mantis.

    1. I just tried the "Flying Mop" and it actually flew fairly well. At least as good as a paper airplane.
