Description

Marx Pete the Parrot battery operated toy

This Marx Pete the talking Parrot toy from the 1960’s is in nearly flawless, mint condition with the original box, hang tag and instruction sheet. This awesome battery-operated toy requires 3 D-cell batteries and one 9-volt battery for the talking feature.

This is one of the first battery-operated toys to feature the use of transistors for operation. The voice recording mechanism utilizes the 9 volt battery. Pressing one of the buttons on the base allows you to record a special message. After the recording is complete, pressing the button again plays back your message and actuates Pete’s beak, eyes and head movement to imply Pete is speaking with your voice.

These toys are almost never seen in this virtually unplayed with condition. The original box lid has a bit of damage but the missing pieces of the front are included should you wish to repair the box. This is a beautiful and outstanding collectible toy.
