"How much is that doggie in the window.....the one with the waggly tail. How much is that doggie in the window, I do hope that doggie's for sale."
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 inspection is a darling Fisher Price Precious Places "add-on" set---#5244 Mother and Puppies. This set is EXCEEDINGLY hard to find and complements several other Precious Places sets such as the #5155 Best Friends Pet Shop, #5161 Baby's Nursery Cottage, #5162 Country Kitchen Cottage, #5188 Grandstand Pet Pageant, and the #5166 Magic Key Mansion.
This particular offering is 99% complete. The only missing item is a white or pink newspaper. All of the other items are present. In my opinion, this set is in Near Mint condition. The only "imperfection" I can find is the litho on the light blue key has come loose on either side. I will be remedying this with Rubber Cement.
This set weighs 2 oz. UNWRAPPED. My location is Lafayette, IN (47905).
I'm more than willing to combine purchases into one shipment. All I ask is that you make sure to place all of your intended purchases into your shopping cart before you check out. That way, PayPal will generate one INVOICE and will allow me to print out a shipping label using their services. If you purchase each item separately, I get charged multiple PayPal transaction fees. When everything is included on one INVOICE, I only get charged one PayPal transaction fee. Your cooperation in this matter will be much appreciated.
