Here is a VHTF, Vintage Fisher Price Pick Up 'N Peek #2715 Numbers Puzzle for your consideration. This puzzle consists of 10 interlocking pieces, five of which are equipped with a yellow peg to help little fingers easily remove the pieces from the puzzle. The puzzle was designed for 3-5 year old children. Manufactured between 1985-88, the puzzle featured a 3-D type of design by one of Fisher Price's most celebrated illustrators, Michael J. Smollin. The detail on this puzzle is AMAZING! All of the pieces, when removed, has an underlying litho depicting the corresponding number of items represented by the numeral in question. Pieces on the outside of the puzzle likewise reflect the number of items represented by the adjacent numeral and are also color coded to help the child make the correct association. This is a WONDERFUL puzzle to reinforce beginning number concepts. In my opinion, this puzzle warrants a NEAR MINT rating.
After repeatedly inspecting this puzzle, the only "flaws" I can spot are:
1. One, pin-head size puncture on the underlying litho next to the "Three Men in the Tub;"
2. One, pin-head size rub on the hat of the "Candlestick Maker" litho;
3. Some EXTREMELY minor edge wear on a few of the puzzle pieces; I'm being super "nit-picky" here because I don't want anyone to be disappointed by their purchase from me; and
4. One stray blue mark and a couple of light blue stains on the back of the puzzle;
5. Some EXTREMELY minor edge wear on the edges on the back of the puzzle; obviously, this does not affect the functionality of overall appearance of this puzzle in play or while on display.
That's it! All of the interior lithos are generally in NEAR MINT-MINT condition. I've taken close up pictures of these "imperfections" but I doubt that they even show on my pictures---they're that insignificant. Although you can't see it in my photos, the imprint on the back of the puzzle indicates it was produced in Holland.
This VHTF wood puzzle exemplifies Fisher Price's reputation for durable, classic toys. The puzzle weighs 13 oz. UNWRAPPED and my location is Lafayette, IN (47905).
I'm more than willing to combine purchases to save on shipping costs. ALL I ASK IS THAT BUYERS CONTACT ME PRIOR TO PURCHASING MULTIPLE ITEMS SO I CAN MAKE A COMBINED INVOICE. OTHERWISE, THE BONANZA SHIPPING CALCULATOR MAY OVERCHARGE YOU ON SHIPPING AND I WILL BE CHARGED MULTIPLE TRANSACTION FEES BY PAYPAL.
I'm willing to ship items to Canada. However, be advised that the shipping costs to this country is much higher than here in the mainland United States. If you wish to obtain a shipping quote prior to purchasing the item, please contact me and I will research the shipping costs. I charge the ACTUAL shipping rate. I utilize First Class Priority International for packages weighing less than 4 lbs. and USPS Priority International for packages heavier than that to Canada. Insurance is required for all International shipments. International customers are responsible for any inherent Custom's fees, duties or brokerage fees.
The price listed is for the item itself. The total amount due will be the purchase price of the item + the ACTUAL shipping cost to deliver your item to you. All shipping costs or extra fees (in the case of Canadian shipments) are the responsibility of the buyer. I will do everything in my power to find you the cheapest shipping rate—-whether it’s the USPS (First Class, Parcel, or Priority), Fed Ex, or UPS. I DO NOT PAD MY SHIPPING COSTS—-NEVER HAVE AND NEVER WILL! I SHIP WITHIN 48 HOURS OF A CLEARED PAYMENT.
I primarily utilize Fed Ex Home Delivery for items exceeding 5 lbs. in weight, measuring greater than 12 inches in any dimension, or traveling longer distances. I’ve been finding Fed Ex has been running @33% cheaper than the USPS (including Parcel Post) and UPS Ground. FYI, another benefit of using either Fed Ex or UPS is that their quote includes up to $100 worth of FREE insurance. Additional amounts of insurance may be purchased for a nominal fee (that is much less than the USPS). Fed Ex also provides automated tracking updates re: your parcel’s whereabouts directly to your personal e-mail account.
In order to ship Fed Ex (or UPS for that matter), I MUST have a residential or work place address, NOT a P.O. Box number, as well as a home or cell phone. Otherwise, they will not accept the shipping paperwork or transport your item.
Since Bonanza's shipping calculator does NOT offer Fed Ex Home Delivery as a shipping option, PLEASE DO NOT SEND PAYMENT UNTIL I HAVE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO MANUALLY CHECK THESE RATES AND INSERT THEM INTO YOUR INVOICE. Otherwise, the shipping calculator may overcharge you.
Packages traveling to Alaska or Hawaii will be shipped Parcel Post via the USPS. Insurance and delivery confirmation are required.
I’m more than willing to combine multiple purchases into one box whenever it is safe to do so to decrease your shipping costs. PLEASE wait to check out until I can combine your purchases on ONE INVOICE and can calculate their combined shipping rate via Fed Ex. If you pay for these items separately, I get charged multiple transaction fees by PayPal plus you get over-charged on your shipping. Of course, I will refund you any amount over $1.00 that you've overpaid on shipping. However, it's easier on both of us if you wait until I can send you the correct amount.
I’m more than happy to ship selected play sets to Canada. Remember that shipping to Camada can be quite expensive so please contact me for a shipping quote before you purchase an item. I will attempt to find the cheapest shipping rate possible. Also, Canadian customers will be responsible for any brokerage fees, Custom’s duties, or VAT’s imposed by your government. I am not responsible for these charges. Insurance is required for all international shipments.
Last, but not least, I offer a 10% discount for orders totaling $125.00 or more.
ALL SALES ARE FINAL. NO RETURNS ARE ACCEPTED. I have attempted to bring any noted "imperfections" to your attention prior to your purchasing the item. However, I'm only human. If I have missed something or you have a problem with your purchase, please contact me prior to leaving feedback.
