3 Entrancing and entertaining, Slinky had proven itself to be the cream of the crop among toys. He brought 400 slinky coils with him, and they were sold out within an hour and a half. Initially, stores were skeptical about selling a bundle of wire, but finally, a department store allowed James to do a demonstration. His wife, Betty, came up with the name “slinky,” and soon they had secured a patent and co-founded James Industries. He watched them tumble around as if they had a life of their own and knew he had just witnessed something amazing. The idea for everyone’s favorite spring toy came about in 1943 when mechanical engineer Richard James dropped some coiled wires while working on a project for the Navy.
