Donald Duck Xylophone

#177

1946-1952

Over the years Fisher-Price made several different toys that featured a xylophone, however Fisher-Price made only two xylophone toys with Donald Duck. The first was 1938-1942's #185 Donald Duck Xylophone. Both Donald Duck Zylophones are similar, but the main difference is the hat. Donald has a band cap in the #185, but his hat is marked "Donald Duck" on the #177.

Donald leads the band on his zylophone
He's the jolliest leader you've ever known
He plays a merry tune on the nickle keys
A grand big toy that is sure to please.
