Where can I find this vintage ladybug sprinkler?

Question

I've been looking for a 1981 Ladybug Sprinkler but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Does anyone know where I can find this:

I've looked on ebay, google and some other websites but I really can't find it. I would love to see if someone had it for sale or where I can find it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

THATS WILLY WATERBUG!!!!! I had that growing up and had a friggin blast. My broand I, as well as all the neighborhood kids, would play in that for hours and run up my parents water bill. YOU are the first person I have ever spoken to that knows, or is familiar with Willy Waterbug. That IS his name. Thats about all I can give you on that, but at least you have a name for the product to go on. Thats a blast from the past. Great Question!

Answer 2

I would suggest ebay or perhaps google-ing "vintage toys" or "1950's toys" or whichever era it was from.  

Answer 3

I found your Wham O willy water bug {which is it's name}

problems being that it is extremely difficult finding this one because the condition of the sprinklers was usually in bad shape after awhile....

so finding just one in this kind of shape was almost amazing....and it even has the box intact

second problem - its going to cost you plenty
