Summary
A baby's threading toy, manufactured by Brio in original oblong cardboard box (circa 1982). The box contains two toys. One has a big red disc with a rectangular hole. Through the hole passes a cord to which are threaded four oblong beads which just pass through the hole. The second toy has a big red disc with a round hole. Through this hole passes a cord to which are threaded four round beads which pass through the hole. Along with these is a piece of cardboard with instructions and the advantages of a baby playing with the toy in three European languages, printed in black on a white background. On the front of the box are three pictures of a baby playing with the toy, a notice which reads 'Brio Baby, from 10 months' and the Brio logo. On the back of the box are the descriptions of the toys in three European languages, printed in red on a yellow background. The top of the box has details of the contents in three languages and the numbers '9170' in red and '32100/170' in black. Total number of items is 4.
