Vintage Fisher Price Precious Places
#5205 Mom at Work
99% Complete / NR MINT! (F)
In 1989, Fisher Price created a village of collectible houses, accessories, and people that could be manipulated via magnetic keys. They called this village Precious Places. The village was interconnected by special elevated sidewalks that animals, people, and accessories could traverse using the magnetic key. In addition, many of the buildings possessed special features that could be controlled utilizing these magnetic keys (e.g. turn on the lights, manipulate ceiling fans, rock cradles, open doors etc.). Each building and accessory set afforded its own unique key.
Here for your consideration is one, complete add-on accessory set to this "magic world," Precious Places #5205 Mom at Work. This set included a Mom figure with a magnetic base, a pink and yellow vacuum cleaner, a pink magnetic key with a litho of Mom on it, and a straight piece of sidewalk. By moving the magnetic key underneath the sidewalk, Mom appeared to come "alive" and twirled, walked, raced etc. down the sidewalk. She could also push or pull the vacuum cleaner when her hand was slipped inside the handle of the vacuum cleaner. The only thing missing from this set is the personality or character card. In my opinion, this set is in NEAR MINT condition.
Note: Due to the number of small parts and the presence of small magnets, these toys were designed for children ages 5 years and up. They DEFINITELY should not be given to children under age 3 as the parts are too small for them to easily manipulate and they pose a choking hazard.
I will be thoroughly Q-tip cleaning this set prior to sending it to its new owners. My sets are IMMACULATE!
This particular offering weighs 2 oz. UNWRAPPED. My location is Lafayette, IN (47905).
Due to the size and weight of this offering, I will probably be sending it via the USPS (e.g. First Class mail). I'm more than willing to combine auctions to save the buyer on shipping. Please note that if the package ends up weighing over 13 oz., I will need to send the box via Priority Mail.
If you do elect to purchase multiple items, PLEASE combine your purchases onto one INVOICE. Otherwise, I get charged multiple PayPal transaction fees and it sometimes prevents me from printing out a shipping label using PayPal. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
