Need Toy Help--Can't Remember

Okay Folks,

Knowing that I have a huge font of knowledge here, I will appeal to all the
toy lovers to give me a name for this thing.  Please, Please do not respond
with pictures, links to pictures, etc., since they are totally useless to
the totally blind.

The toy I'm trying to find the name of looks like a cylintrical can with
holes on the top and a picture of an animal on it.  When the can is turned
over so the holes are facing down, a sort of bellows inside fills with air;
when the can is turned right-side up, the air is pushed through some sort of
diaphragm and the sound that comes out approximates the animal on the
picture.  They were popular in the early to middle 1960's, possibly before
that.

I got a collection of sound effects which I'm trying to label, and one of
the sounds is this toy that sounds like a cow.  How should I label it?

Thanks, thanks, thanks!  I used to love these thingies and haven't seen one
in garsh knows how long.

Cheers,

Lee :-)
