Here is a HTF, Vintage Fisher Price Pick Up 'N Peek #522 Matching Colors puzzle for your inspection. This puzzle consists of 5 pieces, all of which are equipped with a yellow peg to help little fingers easily remove the pieces from the puzzle. The puzzle was designed for 2- 5 year old children. Manufactured between 1980-84, the puzzle resembles one of Fisher Prices #932 School play sets. The detail is AMAZING. All of the pieces, when removed, has an underlying litho depicting various items which are associated with the highlighted color. This is a WONDERFUL puzzle for beginning language learners. The puzzle provides loads of opportunities to highlight assorted vocabulary, language based concepts (e.g. in/out/under, color names, action vocabulary etc.), Wh- questions (e.g. "Who is fishing?" "Where is the teacher?") and memory activities. The lithos are captivating and spark a lot of conversational attempts. It is also a great introduction to single piece puzzles to enhance fine motor coordination. In my opinion, this puzzle is in VG++-EXC condition. The only "imperfections" I can find are:
1. A few, pin-head size rubs on the boy's pants, on one of the squash, and a pumpkin on the pumpkin patch litho;
2. A faint stain and some light rubs on the firetruck litho;
3. Some EXTREMELY minor edge wear on a few of the puzzle pieces;
4. One, 1/8" chip on the lower left hand edge and one 1/8" W x 1"L chip off the upper right hand edge of the puzzle; otherwise, this puzzle is free of any cracks, "dings," chips, or scratches; I just now noticed these chips; they're really unremarkable and don't pose any hazards to young fingers; and
5. A couple of aqua marker marks and a 1 1/4"L x 3/4" W spot where part of the backing of the puzzle has been removed. This does not affect the functionality or overall appearance of the puzzle when its in play or on display. If it wasn't for these spots on the back of the puzzle, this puzzle would easily garner an EXC-EXC++ rating. I've lowered my overall rating purely on the basis of these "imperfections" on the back of the puzzle.
That's it! All of the interior lithos are generally in EXC++-NEAR MINT condition. I've taken close up pictures of these "imperfections" but I doubt that they even show on my pictures---they're that insignificant. Although you can't see it in my photos, the imprint on the back of the puzzle indicates it was produced in Holland.
This wood puzzle exemplifies Fisher Price's reputation for durable, classic toys. The puzzle weighs 12 oz. UNWRAPPED and my location is Lafayette, IN (47905).
I'm more than willing to combine purchases to save on shipping costs. ALL I ASK IS THAT BUYERS CONTACT ME PRIOR TO PURCHASING MULTIPLE ITEMS SO I CAN MAKE A COMBINED INVOICE. OTHERWISE, THE BONANZA SHIPPING CALCULATOR MAY OVERCHARGE YOU ON SHIPPING AND I WILL BE CHARGED MULTIPLE TRANSACTION FEES BY PAYPAL.
I'm willing to ship items to Canada. However, be advised that the shipping costs to this country is much higher than here in the mainland United States. If you wish to obtain a shipping quote prior to purchasing the item, please contact me and I will research the shipping costs. I charge the ACTUAL shipping rate. I utilize First Class Priority International for packages weighing less than 4 lbs. and USPS Priority International for packages heavier than that to Canada. Insurance is required for all International shipments. International customers are responsible for any inherent Custom's fees, duties or brokerage fees.
Preferred payment is via PayPal. Payment is expected within 5 business days.
The price listed is for the item itself. The total amount due will be the purchase price of the item + the ACTUAL shipping cost to deliver your item to you. All shipping costs or extra fees (in the case of Canadian shipments) are the responsibility of the buyer.

I will do everything in my power to find you the cheapest shipping rate-whether it's the USPS (First Class or Priority), Fed Ex, or UPS. I DO NOT PAD MY SHIPPING COSTS--NEVER HAVE AND NEVER WILL! I SHIP WITHIN 48 HOURS OF A CLEARED PAYMENT.
I primarily utilize Fed Ex Home Delivery for items exceeding 5 lbs. in weight, measuring greater than 12 inches in any dimension, or traveling longer distances. I've been finding Fed Ex has been running @33% cheaper than the USPS Priority and UPS Ground. FYI, another benefit of using either Fed Ex or UPS is that their quote includes up to $100 worth of FREE insurance. Additional amounts of insurance may be purchased for a nominal fee (that is much less than the USPS). Fed Ex also provides automated tracking updates re: your parcel's whereabouts directly to your personal e-mail account.
In order to ship Fed Ex (or UPS for that matter), I MUST have a residential or work place address, NOT a P.O. Box number, as well as a home or cell phone. Otherwise, they will not accept the shipping paperwork or transport your item.
Since Bonanza's shipping calculator does NOT offer Fed Ex Home Delivery as a shipping option, PLEASE DO NOT SEND PAYMENT UNTIL I HAVE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO MANUALLY CHECK THESE RATES AND INSERT THEM INTO YOUR INVOICE. Otherwise, the shipping calculator may overcharge you.
Packages traveling to Alaska or Hawaii will be shipped Parcel Post via the USPS. Insurance and delivery confirmation are required.
I'm more than willing to combine multiple purchases into one box whenever it is safe to do so to decrease your shipping costs. Once again, PLEASE wait to check out until I can combine your purchases on ONE INVOICE and can calculate their combined shipping rate via Fed Ex. If you pay for these items separately, I get charged multiple transaction fees by PayPal plus you get over-charged on your shipping. Of course, I will refund you any amount over $1.00 that you've overpaid on shipping. However, it's easier on both of us if you wait until I can send you the correct amount.
Once again, I'm more than happy to ship selected play sets to Canada. Remember that shipping to Canada can be quite expensive so please contact me for a shipping quote before you purchase an item. I will attempt to find the cheapest shipping rate possible. Also, Canadian customers will be responsible for any brokerage fees, Custom's duties, or VAT's imposed by your government. I am not responsible for these charges. Insurance is required for all international shipments.
Last, but not least, I offer a 10% discount for orders totaling $125.00 or more.
ALL SALES ARE FINAL. NO RETURNS ARE ACCEPTED. I have attempted to bring any noted "imperfections" to your attention prior to your purchasing the item. However, I'm only human. If I have missed something or you have a problem with your purchase, please contact me prior to leaving feedback.
