The Helping Hand is made from plastic and it’s nails are polished in pink, it has a flat surface and a wind up “motor.” It will move forward if you put something heavy, like a glass, on it! Helping Hand isn’t a toy, on the box it said:  Just wind it up. Ready to go automatically when drink is put on. Stops automatically at any edge – can’t fall off!  Helping Hand is a beverage carrier, coaster, disguised in a mechanical womans hand! Produced by Yone toy manufacturers in Japan.
Thank you P.tronella for sharing your helping hand with us! xoxo mimi
