c1932-1936
1931, Fisher-Price introduced their very first 16 toys. Among these toys were 3 different Go 'n' Back toys from the Walky Balky toy line, the #350 Go 'n' Back Mule (mule), #355 Go 'n' Back Bruno (bear) and #360 Go 'n' Back Jumbo (elephant). The Walky Balky toys are propelled by a motor that makes the toys walk forward and back up unpredictably, just like real live animals. In 1932 Fisher-Price introduced 2 more toys to the line, the #365 Puppy Bak-Up and the #375 Bruno Bak-Up. The names of the #350 and #360 Walky Balky toys were change from "Go 'n' Back" to "Bak-Up" and patent numbers were assigned. The name changed, but the motor and action did not chance. Wind his key and the Puppy Bak-Up proudly struts across the floor and backs up.
1932-1934 retail price was $1.50.
1935 retail price was $1.25.
