Vintage Fisher Price
#2020 Post Office
98% Complete (missing crayon and cloth)
EXC++/ (H)
Here is a FABULOUS find---a Vintage Fisher Price #2020 Post Office play set! This wonderful toy was manufactured between 1990 to 1992 and afforded children hours of imaginative fun. The set included a realistic mail box with a letter slot, a package compartment, 2 post office boxes with clicking keys and much more. Other contents consisted of a working stamp dispenser with 8 reusable stamps, wipeable stationary, letters, envelopes, post cards, a package, and a mail tote. Children could pretend to write and send letters, thereby enhancing their emergent literacy and pre-writing skills. They could also "sort and deliver the mail" like a real mail person. This would make a TREMENDOUS gift for a Kindergarten or First Grade classroom mailbox. Children love sending and receiving mail. What a way to foster more child interactions with print in a meaningful context! This particular offering is 98% complete; the only items missing are the erasable crayon and wipe-away cloth.
All of the components of this set are in EXC--EXC++ condition. Notable "imperfections" are described below:
1 RARE Post Office Box (three, horizontal creases and a couple of bubbles on the main Fisher Price logo; some bubbles on the Clock litho; some light scuffs on one side of the Post Office Box);
2 white hard plastic envelopes with hinged lids to insert a "letter" inside;
2 white hard plastic wipe-off "letters";
1 red mail tote with a hinged yellow handle; the tote has divided sections for letters, stamps etc.;
1 yellow plastic package (box) that is hinged; it has an area in the upper right hand corner where a stamp may be applied and removed;
1 plastic postcard with a litho depicting a circus and a clown;
1 plastic postcard with a litho showing two children playing on the beach;
1 working red stamp dispenser (this is so cool!); the child presses down the lever and the stamp ejects from the pre-loaded dispenser (NOTE: stamp dispenser tends to eject one stamp at a time; you then need to re-position the stamps to eject another one; I'm going to monkey around with this to see if I can improve its fluidity);
1 yellow sorting tray with hook on each end; the tray fits inside the upper right hand side of the mail box's interior;
8 small plastic stamps with a different picture and price imprinted on each of them; these include: a blue, .05 Space Shuttle; a blue, .45 Saturn; a green, .03 Train; a green, .12 George Washington; an orange, .75 Lion; and orange $1.00 Airplane (must be going to Canada); a red, .10 Dinosaur; and a red, .30 French Horn. Kids love to "purchase" their stamps and apply them on the postcards, envelopes, and package.
This is an AWESOME play set---one chock full of educational applications as well as open-ended fun! This set is EXTREMELY RARE and VHTF with most of its original accessories. Don't let this set pass you by!
I will be sending this set to its new owner securely wrapped in bubble wrap and tucked inside another protective box. The set weighs 4 lbs., 1 oz. and my location is Lafayette, IN (47905).
I'm more than willing to combine purchases into one shipment when possible to save the buyer on shipping costs. Please combine your purchases in your cart before checking out. Otherwise, I get charged multiple PayPal transaction fees and also messes up my ability to print combined shipping labels via PayPal.
I'm finding that Fed Ex Home Delivery is running about 33% cheaper than the USPS for deliveries in the continental U.S. This is especially true for packages weighing in excess of 5 lbs., traveling longer distances, or requiring an over-sized box. To ship Fed Ex Home Delivery, I must have a residential address, not a P.O. box, and a contact phone number (e.g. home, cell, or work place). Otherwise, Fed Ex will not accept the package for shipping.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter.
