Description

Beautiful Vintage Ohio Art "Fido's Musical Dog House" Tin Litho Mechanical Toy

Up for sale is a wonderful piece of mid-century childhood nostalgia: the classic Fido's Musical Dog House, manufactured by the famous Ohio Art Company. This is a highly collectible tin lithograph toy that is increasingly difficult to find in fully working condition.

Key Features & Condition Details:

• Mechanical Condition: Excellent. The internal Swiss-made music box winds up effortlessly and plays smoothly without catching or skipping. The mechanical pop-up feature triggers perfectly.
• Cosmetic Condition: The lithograph colors remain bright, vibrant, and glossy. There are absolutely no dents, cracks, or paint chips on the body.
• Minor Wear Note: There is a single, minor one-inch scratch on the roof of the dog house (visible in photos). This is normal light wear for a genuine vintage item and does not detract from its overall display quality. And the front corner is bent upward.
• Box: Original packaging is not included.

This charming piece plays "Oh Where, Oh Where Has My Little Dog Gone?" while Fido waits inside, popping his head out at the end of the tune. It makes a perfect addition to any vintage tin litho collection, Ohio Art collection, or mid-century nursery display.

Please review all high-resolution photos carefully as they form part of the condition description. The item will be packed with extreme care in a sturdy box with plenty of bubble wrap to ensure safe transit.
