Today on Fisher Price Friday I have a very familiar toy to share with you. Odds are high that you either had one of these growing up or played with one at a friend's house. It's the Pull-A-Tune Xylophone #870 which was made between 1957-1989. So both you and your mom probably had one! The toy came with a mallet and could be pulled by a string.
It also included a 4 page song book with the songs Jingle Bells, Frere Jacques, This Old Man and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
This lithograph is the same on each side and this version was on the xylophone from 1978-1989.
Here you can see the wood sides and wood base.
Happy playing!

A friend just found a Fisher-Price xylophone at a thrift shop for our grandson. Our oldest daughter had one just like this one, back in the early 70s. Thank you so much for sharing the music book, as our thrift shop toy doesn't have one. Also for the changes made over the years. Much appreciated!
