My dad bought one in '62, the Siamese cat. I had hours of fun bobbing the head. It was a tan plastic molding with fuzzy stuff glued on the outside. I suspect they used a static charge to get the stuff to stick straight out. Inside was a red-painted 1-inch diameter dowel about 5" long. The whole antenna was just two 1x4 aluminum strips stapled to the dowel about two inches apart, with a 1/2-watt resistor and the twinlead riveted to both plates. Dad was disappointed with its performance.
