Marble Machine Medley

Ooh, neat, a vintage toy with a self-contained marble run! But that's just the beginning of this compilation of kinetic artworks, each offering a new twist, like intricate shapes, multiple paths, clever return mechanisms, bells and whistles, and motorized returns. These aren't antiques. LittleBall Creations hand-solders amazing marble run sculptures out of copper wiring, which gives them a lovely vintage look, but it's the clever designs that get us hooked. If these were for sale... we couldn't afford them. See more of LittleBall Creations' sculptures at Colossal. -via Everlasting Blort

The fourth one reminds me of that electric toy with penguins that went up a ramp and then rolled down a long slope. My brother and I learned the hard way not to put too many penguins on that thing.
My cat would love all of these!
