Vintage Fisher Price Pick Up 'N Peek #519
Animal Friends Puzzle
EXC+++(E)
Here for your perusal is a CLASSIC, Vintage Fisher Price Pick-Up and Peek #519 Animal Friends Wooden Peg Puzzle. Manufactured between 1977-84, this puzzle featured a host of lovable animals that pre-schoolers adore and also frequent the stories they hear. Designed for children ages 1 1/2--4 years of age, the puzzle consists of 8 single pieces which may be removed by pulling up on their yellow pegs. The yellow pegs and the lack of interlocking pieces makes it an ideal first puzzle for young children. Under each puzzle piece, is a captivating litho of that same animal engaging in a different activity. The pictures help the child match the correct puzzle piece to its respective position. In addition, the puzzle assists the children in developing their beginning matching skills, eye/hand coordination, and attending skills.
This puzzle is in EXC++ condition. The puzzle surface has retained its original glossy sheen with only minimal paint loss being noted on the left front hoof of the fawn. All of the yellow pegs are present. The interior lithos are pristine (MINT). The only other flaw I can ascertain is some moderate feathering of the wood on the back edges of the puzzle pieces. Naturally, these are not on display during play or while the puzzle is displayed. Remarkably, he rear of the puzzle is sparkling clean with no stains, marks, scratches etc. being discerned. If the aforementioned feathering of the wood on the back of the puzzle pieces was not present, this would be a MINTY MINT puzzle. I've lowered my rating solely based on this feathering.
This puzzle belies Fisher Price's reputation for durable, endearing toys. As visible in my photos, this puzzle was produced in Malta for Fisher Price Toys, copyright 1971-72, 1973-1976-1979, The Quaker Oats Company.
This puzzle weighs 15 oz. UNWRAPPED. My location is Lafayette, IN (47905).
