Plastic toy 'Music Box Teaching Clock' #998 by Fisher-Price

The Fisher-Price Music Box Teaching Clock #998 was produced from 1962 to 1968 as an educational toy designed to help young children learn to tell time. The clock face features colorful illustrations depicting daily activities corresponding to different hours, while a wind-up music box mechanism plays a tune and moves the hands around the dial. This toy represents the golden era of Fisher-Price's innovative approach to combining play with learning through durable, child-safe designs. This teaching clock is highly valued by vintage toy collectors and Fisher-Price enthusiasts who appreciate mid-century educational toys. The combination of nostalgic appeal, educational purpose, and the iconic Fisher-Price brand makes it a sought-after piece for those collecting 1960s childhood memorabilia. Collectors particularly prize examples in working condition with intact graphics and functional music boxes, as these toys were heavily used and often show significant wear.
