The iconic original Denys Fisher Spirograph set — the revolving stencil drawing toy that won the Educational Toy of the Year Award and became one of the most celebrated British toys of the 1960s and 70s. Designed by British engineer Denys Fisher and first produced in 1965, the Spirograph remains a landmark in educational toy design. This is an authentic vintage example in the classic red moulded plastic tray with the original blue, yellow and red box.
