Illustration Friday - Toy

When I got the topic for this week on Illustration Friday 
I immediately thought of one one we have in the art room at school.

It's recognizable to most adults, but I'm not sure if kids these days are playing with them. 
So maybe I see them as more of an antique toy. 
Or maybe retro. 
I'm not sure I really understand the difference between the two.
Either way, it's an old toy we use in still lives to teach cylinders and color.
