Summary
A baby's 'Fisher-Price' Roly Poly Chime Ball with its original box (circa 1982). The toy itself is made of plastic - the top half is transparent revealing 2 horses and 2 swans, each on rockers. The bottom half is green. The horses and swans surround a cylinder decorated with trees, birds and butterflies. The ball has a slightly flat bottom, enabling the ball to rock but always return to an upright resting position. Musical chimes sound when it rocks. A colour photograph of the ball features on the lid and 2 sides of the box. The remaining 2 sides of the box have colour photographs of a baby playing with the ball. Printed on the box is '1973,1979 Fisher Price Toys, East Aurora, NY 14052, U.S.A/ Division of the Quaker Oats Company/ Manufactured in England by Fisher-Price Toys, PO Box65 Northampton, England/ figures from Hong Kong/ Chimes from Taiwan or India/ Made in Great Britain/Package printed in Great Britain.'
