VINTAGE FISHER PRICE LITTLE PEOPLE MUSICAL FERRIS WHEEL

FISHER PRICE

MUSICAL FERRIS WHEEL

#969

Up for Auction is the vintage Fisher Price Musical Ferris Wheel.  This is the first Little People playset that featured a wind-up music box and ride that moves by itself.  There is a plastic knob on the side of the ticket booth that, when turned, activates the spinning of the wheel and the playing of the song "In the Good Ole Summertime".  There is also a permanently attached angry boy with a wooden head who turns a geared crank handle as the ferris wheel spins.  This pre-owned playset is in amazing condition considering its age.  The majority of the lithographs are still present, with the exception of those on the plastic portion of the wheel and the masonite base is fully intact.  There is no visible damage to the plastic but there is some peeling on the mad boy's hat.   The wooden loading steps are showing slight wear to the paint and the litho around the plastic turn-knob is also quite rough around the edges.  However, despite its few flaws, the music box works, the ferris wheel spins and the angry boy is hard at work at the crank!  The only accessory included is the hard-to-find wooden straight-sided dog with droopy ears (portion of one ear is missing).   This is a great find for collectors.
