Thanks for the help. It makes sense now...maybe I could make some kind of lightsaber since its got the battery power already.
Found one brand new on ebay that didnt sell:

I have this toy lightsaber and don’t know exactly where it came from. It takes 2 C batteries, and appears to have had some kind of insertable blade for the lightsaber [I dont have this piece]. When you push the switch, gears inside make blade-holder vibrate. (see video)
It’s definitely not in new condition, but it’s not bad either. It still works, the printing on the inside looks good, and the thing is sturdy.
The printing on the inside art reads: © General Mills Fun Group, Inc. 1977 322-001
The lettering on the plastic itself reads: © G.M.F.G.I. 1977 KENNER PRODUCTS CINCINNATI, OHIO 45202 NO. 30050 MADE IN HONG KONG
If someone could help me identify it’s origin (or point me to similar items online), I would greatly appreciate it. Also, if anyone is interested in buying it, make me an offer – I’ll gladly sell it to someone who will enjoy it more than I have…
