Vintage Fisher Price Pick Up 'N Peek #2721 Hats Puzzle Mint!

Here is a RARE, Vintage Fisher Price Pick Up 'N Peek #2721 Hats Puzzle for your perusal. This puzzle consists of 5 single pieces, each of which is equipped with a yellow peg to help little fingers easily remove the pieces from the puzzle. The puzzle was designed for 1-3 year old children which makes it ideal as a first puzzle with young children. What child doesn't like trying on different hats and taking them off?
Manufactured between 1985-88, this puzzle was designed by one of Fisher Price's most celebrated illustrators, Michael J. Smollin. The detail on this puzzle is CAPTIVATING! All of the pieces, when removed, has an underlying litho depicting the individual likely to be wearing such a hat and the kinds of activities this person might be engage in at their job. Pictured individuals shown on the outside of the puzzle likewise provide clues as to the identity of the person wearing the adjacent hat.
This is a FABULOUS puzzle to reinforce beginning language concepts: (e.g. prepositions such as on/off, in/out, up/down; action words such as "blowing, stopping, spraying, burning, pulling, throwing, crawling, laughing, riding, sitting, sliding;" Wh-questions such as "Who is wearing the cowboy hat? or "Where is Santa?"; personal and possessive pronouns such as mine/yours, he/she, his/her, possessive 's such as "That's the fireman's hat" etc.. The difficulty level of this puzzle coincides perfectly with a 2 year olds emerging opinion that everything is "MINE." What a great way to highlight these language-based concepts as well as other assorted vocabulary. In my opinion, this wooden puzzle warrants a MINT rating. I seldom rate a puzzle as being in MINT condition; however, I cannot spot anything amiss with the wooden pieces or wooden puzzle frame. The back of the individual puzzle pieces are free of any marks, stains, chips etc. This puzzle is a "Wonder to Behold!"
Similarly, all of the interior lithos are MINT condition. I literally cannot find anything wrong with any of the interior lithos. Although you can't see it in my photos, the imprint on the back of the puzzle indicates it was made in Malta for Fisher Price, copyright 1984, Division of the Quaker Oats Company. Believe it or not, but I've actually seen some of these puzzles that came out of the factory uncut and someone later framed them and hung them on a child's wall for decoration. The colors are riveting!
This VHTF wood puzzle exemplifies Fisher Price's reputation for durable, classic toys. The puzzle weighs 14 oz. UNWRAPPED and my location is Lafayette, IN (47905).
