Description: The very first music box that Fisher-Price introduced was the #148 Jack and Jill TV Radio in 1959. In the years that followed, several other music boxes were introduced but they all had a wooden body and a small revolving "TV" screen. In 1964, Fisher-Price introduced a more realistic music box TV as the #196 "Hey Diddle Diddle" Double Screen TV Music Box. The #196 is a square plastic pretend TV with a large TV screen on the front that has scrolling colorful pictures plus a smaller screen on top to view smaller picture. Wind the music box and the pictures revolve in time to the music. The #196 must had been successful as a year later another Double Screen Color TV Music Box was introduced...this time playing Mary Had a Little Lamb. The #196 and #195 are the only two music boxes in this shape and size. Designed for children ages 2 to 6 years old.
