Vintage Fisher-Price Music Box 'Jack N' Jill TV-Radio' (No. 165)

This is a vintage Fisher-Price musical toy, specifically the 'Jack N' Jill TV-Radio', model number 165, which originally debuted in the late 1950s (circa 1959). The item is constructed primarily from a solid wood block base covered in lithographed paper decorations, featuring a blue plastic front faceplate and a yellow-painted wooden handle supported by metal posts. The graphics display Toy Soldier characters on the sides and the classic Fisher-Price 'FP' logo. A central blue plastic knob labeled 'TURN' winds the internal Swiss mechanical music box, which scrolls a pictorial story of Jack and Jill behind an arched window while playing a melody. On the side, a pink wooden knob serves as the on/off switch or volume illusion. A black metal 'antenna' with a pink wooden tip is mounted on the top right. This unit shows signs of age-appropriate wear including slight yellowing of the paper lithographs, minor scuffing on the plastic edges, and light oxidation on the metal antenna rod. The wood handle shows some finish wear. Given the age of approximately 65 years, the item appears to be in very good collectible condition, especially considering the internal mechanism is reported to be functional.
