Fisher-Price branding clearly printed on the center of the rotary dial and likely embossed on the bottom. Confidence level: High.
Flaws to Note
Minor edge wear on the decorative stickers/decals; light scuffs on the blue plastic wheels from floor use; cord may be shorter than vintage versions due to modern safety standards.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace or local Mercari listings are best to avoid shipping costs that might exceed the item value. Excellent for a 'toy bundle' on eBay.
Selling Tips
Clean with a magic eraser to remove scuffs on the white plastic. Highlight that the eyes still move and the dial still 'dings.' Bundle with other Fisher-Price 'Classics' to justify shipping fees.
