Description

Step back in time to the 1950 with this delightful vintage treasure - the "Vintage Musical Basket With Candy Eggs" by Mattel Creations. Manufactured over 70 years ago by Mattel in Culvert California. This enchanting piece of Easter toy nostalgia is not just a toy; it's a cherished memory waiting to be relived.

The toy seems complete, along with the basket and the candy eggs, and even the original plastic wrapper. The toy comes with its original box.

Condition:

  • Toy seems complete, however, the crank that should play the song Did You Ever See A Lassie is not fully working.We say it is not fully working as it still makes a few sounds when you rotate it. It even comes with the original, now dried up, rubber bands that were holding the plastic wrapper to not fall out. This presents a fantastic opportunity for someone to undertake a project and repair the crank, as doing so is likely to significantly increase its value, potentially doubling its worth.
  • Box is in solid and great condition with one of the closing flaps missing.

While compiling this listing, we conducted an extensive search across various marketplaces and couldn't locate another item in a comparable condition. It's worth noting that the empty box alone is currently listed on eBay for $40.

This vintage treasure has been well-preserved, making it a valuable addition to any collection.
