Slinky was invented by naval engineer Richard T. James who was able to get Gimbels department store in Philadelphia to agree to start sell his toy in 1945.  During a product demonstration to kick off sales of the Slinky, Gimbels' entire inventory of 400 toys sold out in ninety minutes.  70 years later more than 300 million of these toys have been sold to girls and boys.
