VINTAGE, FULLY WORKING & BOXED CRAGSTAN \"PULL TOY XYLOPHONE\" 100% ORIGINAL:
$79.00
HERE I AM OFFERING A VERY, VERY RARE VINTAGE, CRAGSTAN \"PULL TOY XYLOPHONE\". THIS IS CRAGSTAN\'S MODEL NUMBER: 1681-8, WHICH IS 100% ORIGINAL AND 100% OPERATIONAL AND IT\'S STILL IN IT\'S ORIGINAL BOX AS WELL! I DO BELIEVE THAT THE ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS HAVE GONE MISSING.I HAVE HAD THIS STASHED AWAY WITH A FEW HUNDRED OR SO ADDITIONAL MODELS ALL OF WHICH I HAVE PERSONALLY OWNED FOR UP TO 5 DECADES!THIS RARE CRAGSTAN ITEM WAS PURCHASED FROM A FRIEND OF MINE WHO HAD AN EXTENSIVE COLLECTION OF JAPANESE TIN CARS & TOYS BACK IN THE MID 1980\'S. HAVING HUNDREDS TO THOUSANDS OF MODEL CARS TO CHOOSE FROM, MOSTLY PORSCHE AND CORVETTES, I HAVE DECIDED TO START LISTING SOME OF THESE HERE ON . 95% OF THESE ARE ONE-OF-A-KIND LISTINGS AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO SHOW YOU AN ARRAY OF PICTURES AND DESCRIBE THEM TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. THIS COOL PULL-TOY IS NO EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE!
THIS CRAGSTAN \"PULL TOY XYLOPHONE\" IS RARELY FOUND HERE ON OR ELSEWHERE FOR THAT MATTER AND WHEN ONE IS LOCATED, CHANCES ARE PRETTY GOOD THAT IT WILL NOT BE COMPLETE OR WOULD BE MISSING SOME METAL \"KEYS\"!WITH THIS EXAMPLE, YOU HAVE ALL OF THE ORIGINALLY ATTACHED FEATURES, TO INCLUDE THE PULL CORD, ALL OF THE 8 KEYS, ORIGINAL WHEELS AND THE ORIGINAL STRIKER!YOU CAN SEE THAT NO REPAIRS HAVE EVER BEEN MADE ON THIS XYLOPHONE.THIS, AS WITH MANY PULL-TOYS OF THIS ERA ARE CLEVERLY DESIGNED AND WITH THIS PARTICULAR PULL TOY, ALL ONE NEEDS DO IS TO PLACE IT ON THE GROUND AND WALK AWAY HOLDING THE ATTACHED CORD OF COURSE. IT PLAYS A SERIES OF NOTES AND EACH NOTE DOES HAVE A COOL ANIMAL ON IT AS WELL AS A NUMBERED. THIS IS DONE BECAUSE WITH THE INCLUDED ORIGINAL STRIKER, YOU CAN PLAY ON THIS XYLOPHONE AS WELL! SO YOU HAVE TWO TOYS IN ONE!I ASSUME THAT THE INSTRUCTIONS (WHICH ARE NOT INCLUDED) HAS SOME SONGS WITH CORRESPONDING NUMBERS SO A CHILD COULD PLAY MUSIC WHILE SINGING ALONG WITH SOME POPULAR SONGS OF THE TIME.THIS IS NOT BEING REPRESENTED AS A NOS (NEW OLD STOCK) PULL-TOY. AS SUCH, IT HAS BEEN USED AND AS WITH ALL USED TOYS, YOU DO HAVE SOME SIGNS OF PLAY WEAR. THE ENTIRE BASE AND BODY IS MADE FROM PRESSED STEEL AND IN ALL HONESTY, THIS COULD BE PASSED OFF AS NOS (NEW OLD STOCK). I SEE NO MARKS ON THE BODY OF THIS XYLOPHONE AND IF FACT, THE BASE (OR BOTTOM) LOOKS LIKE THIS WAS NEVER USED!A GREAT FEATURE IS THE THE ORIGINAL STRIKER IS DESIGNED TO FIT INTO EITHER END OF THE XYLOPHONE! THIS WAY IT\'S ALWAYS CLOSE AT HAND!THE BOX THAT ACCOMPANIES THIS \"PULL TOY\" HAS SEEN BETTER DAYS!! YOU HAVE THREE (3) OF THE FOUR (4) CORNERS OF THE LID TORN AT THE SEAM AND ON THE TOP RIGHT HAND CORNER, YOU HAVE A SMALL PIECE OF THE BOX MISSING. THE COLORS ARE STILL PRESENT AND THE CHILD ON THE LID IS A LINE DRAWING AND NOT AN ACTUAL PICTURE. AT ONE TIME, SOMEONE ADDED SOME TAPE TO HOLD THE ENDS TOGETHER. OVER THE DECADES, THIS TAPE HAS ALL BUT VANISHED, BUT YOU DO HAVE SOME OF THE TAPES RESIDUE STILL PRESENT ON THE ENDS (AS PICTURED).THE BASE OF THE BOX IS IN GREAT SHAPE/CONDITION AND THE ORIGINAL FOUR (4) STAPLES STILL HOLD IT FIRMLY TOGETHER. BY MY STANDARDS AND POLICIES, I VERY RARELY DO NOT TEST WHAT IT IS I AM OFFERING HERE ON . AFTER ALL JUST HOW DIFFICULT IS IT TO TEST A MODEL? ALL ONE NEED DO IS TO TOSS IN A FEW BATTERIES AND GIVE IT A GO! I AM NOT ONE OF THOSE SELLERS WHO WILL EVER SAY \"THIS MODEL IS UNTESTED AND AS SUCH IT IS SOLD IN AS IS CONDITION\" OR , \"I HAVE NOT TESTED THE WIND-UP MECHANISM (CLOCK-WORK) AS I DO NOT HAVE A KEY, SO THIS WILL BE SOLD UNTESTED\". THIS CRAGSTAN \"PULL TOY XYLOPHONE\" IS FULLY TESTED (AND WORKS PERFECTLY) AND WILL BE FULLY TESTED ONCE MORE, JUST PRIOR TO SENDING IT OFF. I DO THIS TWICE, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT THE FIRST TESTING WAS NOT A FLUKE! I AM SURE WE BOTH DO NOT WANT ANY ISSUES HERE AND THIS IS ONE EASY STEP TO AVOID ANY!
I TAKE PRIDE IN MY MODELS THAT I OFFER HERE IN THE WORLD. I DO HAVE OPTIONS AND I CHOOSE TO OFFER ONLY THE VERY FINEST THAT I HAVE AVAILABLE. AS I MENTIONED ABOVE, I TEST EVERYTHING PRIOR TO LISTING IT AND ONCE AGAIN PRIOR TO SENDING THEM OFF. I DO THIS SO WE WILL BOTH BE VERY HAPPY WITH THE END RESULT, IT\'S THE ONLY WAY I DO THINGS!ONCE AGAIN, PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THESE PICTURES AS THIS DOES BECOME AN IMPORTANT PART OF MY DESCRIPTION AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR DESIRE ADDITIONAL PICTURES, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME VIA MESSAGING AND I WILL DO THE REST!
