Richard James accidentally discovered the idea behind the slinky in 1943. James was working with tension springs at his job as a naval engineer. The official debut of the slinky came during the 1945 Christmas season followed by its appearance at the 1946 American Toy Fair.

My understanding was that it was originally developed as an antenna. For use by troops in WWII.
