Somewhere, in the ancient past of my childhood in the deep foggy bottom and far reaches of my old brain, are two tiny Scottie dogs—one black and the other white--each attached to little magnets.
Can anyone help me out on this (almost) memory from 60-70 years ago?
There was a series of adverts for Black & White Scotch whisky a long time ago which featured a pair of Scotties, one black and one white - could the tiny Scotties on magnets have been part of that advertising campaign?

I remember those. Used to use them like magic for those who didn't know and had one on top a thin board and the other under and make the top one move.

I just got a set of them for my sister who has a pair of scotties. I get a catalog that carries items from days gone by that had them in it.

You people are amazing! Thank you! Yes, it probably had to do with advertising. Nlbuchanan, can I get a copy of that catalog? Maybe it has a phone number? I appreciate all of your responses! It wasn't a dream after all!

Nlbuchanan, thank you much! I called and a very nice gal is going to mail me a copy. I get a regular catalog from them that has some great old stuff but no toys. The girl said that this is a toy catalog. I'm looking forward to receiving it. Should be fun! Thanks again.
