Summary
Two Fisher Price child's wooden 'Snoopy' pull along dogs with original boxes (circa 1982). One is labelled DERSS : 20801 and is inside an original colour printed cardboard box which is labelled DERSS : 20802. . Both toy dogs are identical, each has a wooden body and head covered with colour printed paper to imitate eyes, nose and fur. There are 2 moulded brown plastic ears. Each ear swivels on a rivet. The tail is formed by a metal spring ending in a green plastic knob. Each dog is supported on 4 revolving red plastic wheels. There is a length of red string stapled to the dog's mouth so that it may be pulled along and on one end is a yellow wooden shoe. When the dog is pulled along the axle of the front wheel operates a clicking mechanism. The box is illustrated with photographs of the toy, and children playing with the toy. Printed on the end is '693/ Little Snoopy-when pulled, ears swing round, tail wags, 'Yip-yip' sound/ Fisher Price.' There is a colour printed paper catalogue of other Fisher Price toys Total number of items is four
