Description: This is a large wooden wind-up music box that plays, "The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe". 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 #155 Jack And Jill. 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. The music box mechanism could be either Swiss or Japanese.

Other Information:
- Also see 1968's #155 Jack And Jill.
- The words to the song are printed on the back litho as follows:
There was an old woman who lived in a shoe
She has so many children she didn't know what to do.
She gave them some broth without any bread.
Then kissed them all soundly and sent them to bed.
