Description: This is a large wooden wind-up music box that plays, "Jack and Jill". Over the years Fisher-Price had made several different music boxes in various sizes and shapes. The tall rectangular body used for this music box is quite rare and used on only one other music box, the #161 Old Woman Who Lived In A Shoe. Though the shape of the music box is rare and interesting, the most appealing feature of this music box is the peep-window on the back that allows the music box mechanism to be viewed. In the early part of 1968, the Music Box was sold with a clear plastic handle. After that, it was sold with a white thin hard plastic handle. This music box could use either a Swiss or a Japanese music box mechanism.

Other Information:
Jack and Jill
Went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water.
Jack fell down and
broke his crown,
And Jill came
tumbling after.
