I thought that the greek iynx was re-known and accepted as an ancient toy: https://acropolismuseumkids.gr/en/dimiourgo1/127-twist-pull-and-whizz-he-so-called-iynx.html https://acropolismuseumkids.gr/en/dimiourgo1/127-twist-pull-... Checking the article it comes out that the actual article about the "buzz" was published in 1989, though I doubt that even then the classification of these objects as toys was "new".
