Chatter Telephone / First produced in 1962, the smiley-faced Fisher-Price Chatter Telephone has had happy toddlers smiling back for generations. When you consider all the play possibilities this classic toy offers, it's easy to see why it hasn't changed much in 47 years. Like their parents and even grandparents before them, today's little ones love talking into the receiver just like grown-ups and turning the rotary dial to get a satisfying rrrrrring! And, of course, walking is still way more fun when this funny little phone is squeaking along behind you with its eyes rolling up and down! / Rodney Gentry / Hallmark Keepsake Artist / For decorative use only. / [...] / handcrafted - dated 2009
