Vintage Fisher Price 1948 TEDDY ZILO Pull Toy #752
Teddy Zillo was a popular pull toy in the 40s. It is built on a rectangular wooden platform with a 5-note xylohpone on the front and a wooden cut-out wheels. The bear 2024 has paper lithographs on both sides. You can tell the year it was made by the hat that the bear is wearing. The toy shows some stains and wear due to age and use. Also one of the mallets is missing. I do believe that this toy could be restored for another another generation.
The following poem can be found in one of Fisher-Price's mini-catalogues from the late 40's:
Look at the actor, hi there Teddy
Bang out a tune when you are ready
We know you will play a tune we like
As you hold those mallets ready to strike.
