If these are what I think they are, my little sister and I had some as kiddos and they were quite novel

the faux saxophone (saxofauxne?) was nine american dollars and ninety nine american cents. if it works even a little bit i'll call that money well spent

When ours were little and we took them travelling we found that if you produced a small new thing every hour or so you could keep the peace (they were actually great travellers). A matchbox car, a six-pack of crayons & a little pad, a tiny figurine to playact about, whatever - a new little surprise

I was born in 1973 and I know exactly what this toy is. Holy crap nostalgia. ( I’m sending you and your mom huge good vibes for successful surgery and quick recovery ).
