Vintage Milton Bradley Lite-Brite (In Original Box)

This is a vintage Milton Bradley Lite-Brite electric toy, identified by its iconic logo and late 20th-century box design. The item is a creative light-box toy where users insert translucent colored plastic pegs through black paper templates to create glowing mosaic images. The box features two children playing with a clown design, showcasing the primary function of the toy. Physically, the box is made of cardstock and shows signs of shelf wear, including corner compression, slight tearing on the top edge, and creasing throughout the cardboard face. Notable markings include the Milton Bradley 'MB' logo, a large rainbow-gradient 'Lite-Brite' title, and detailed electrical specifications: 50/60 Hz, .21 Amps, 25 Watts, and 110-120V AC only. It also bears a 'UL Listed' stamp and several safety warnings regarding small parts and electrical shock. Based on the graphic style and photography, this unit likely dates from the late 1970s to the 1980s. The toy itself is an 'Electric Toy' which relies on a light bulb inside a plastic console to illuminate the pegs. The condition of the box is fair to good, though the internal state of the light box and completeness of the peg collection are not visible in this image. These toys were highly popular for their colorful visual output and simple mechanical construction.
