Description: The very first Musical Sweeper introduced by Fisher-Price was 1950's #100 Musical Sweeper with a design of Walt Disney's Dopey Dwarf sweeping. In 1953 the sweeper was given a different design and introduced as the #225 Musical Sweeper. The sweeper really works and chimes a cute musical tune to make cleaning fun for children.
