Pull-A-Long Lacing Shoe

#146

c1970-1975

This is the first Little People set to carry the name "Play Family". This shoe set used 1964's #991 Music Box Lacing Shoe concept, but changed it to become more of a teaching toy. The shoe has shaped holes cut into the sides and top that the accessory Little People figures fit through. The figures can be removed from the shoe through it's hinged wooden tongue. The sides of the shoe have holes that child can lace a 50" long shoe lace through to teach him how to lace and tie his shoes. 

The shoe's wooden base rests firmly on the floor. The body of the shoe is plastic with pictures of the accessory figures attached to the sides and back. The top back of the shoe has a plastic strap that makes it easy for child to carry the shoe about. Measures 10" long, 7-1/8" high and 4" wide.
