Vintage Fisher-Price Little People School Playground Lot, 16 Pieces, Swing Set, Merry Go Round, Desks and Figures, Circa 1970s

This is a 16 piece Fisher-Price Little People school playground lot, circa 1970s, sold as found. All 16 pieces shown are included. The pieces carry no visible maker marks and were found together in a Fisher-Price schoolhouse. The schoolhouse itself is not included.

There is general play wear. The tall boy's face paint is worn and faded. One blond girl has a whitish oval mark on her blue body. There are scuffs and light marks on the desks and chairs, and the paper label on the teacher desk shows light wear at the edges. The orange mom figure is plastic and is chewed a little. Both swing seats are attached and intact in the photos. The merry go round spins well and it works.

Questions buyers ask

Every listing spells it out and shows it in photos. Chips, hairlines, crazing, worn plating, old repairs. If I did not mention it, it is not there.

Yes. Every photo is the actual piece, taken by me. When it sells, it is gone.

I note maker, mark, era, and measurements when I can confirm them, and say so plainly when I cannot. Unmarked pieces get dated by what the piece itself shows.
