These 10 Vintage Fisher-Price Toys Are Worth Good Money Today

Vintage Fisher-Price toys have become sought-after collectibles, with many early pieces now selling for notable auction prices. From paper-on-wood toys made in the 1940s to character pull toys and wind-up designs, these items reflect the craftsmanship and style that helped define the brand’s earliest decades. This list highlights some of the most valuable Fisher-Price toys still turning up in collections and auction houses today.
Fisher-Price, founded in 1931, is one of the biggest toy brands in America. You likely remember playing with the “Fisher-Price” moniker on them, regardless of which decade you were born in. But the plastic, battery-operated examples we see in stores today are a far cry from the earlier vintage designs.
1. Fisher-Price Paper-on-Wood Bak-Up Donald Duck

Sold for: $1,600
This Donald Duck toy is one of Fisher-Price’s finest paper-on-wood options — a toy where paper artwork is adhered to a wood surface. It was part of the brand’s “Bak-Up” toy line, powered by a small motor so it could walk.
2. Fisher-Price No. 170 Paper on Wood 1941 American Airplane

Sold for: $750
While this Fisher-Price airplane couldn’t take flight, it was still a fun break from the brand’s usual toys, swapping wheels and rope leads for wings and a propeller. This particular airplane was made to look like an American Airlines plane.
3. Fisher-Price No. 405 Pop-Up Kritters Toy

Sold for: $550
Well isn’t this Lofty Lizzy the cutest thing? Part of the Pop-Up Kritters series, this Fisher-Price toy features a wooden giraffe (hi Lizzy!) on a round-shaped paddle. Since it was in near-mint condition and came with its rare original color box, the toy sold for over $500.
4. Fisher-Price Bruno and Bear Drummer Toys

Sold for: $800
It seems that all of Fisher-Price’s best, most coveted vintage toys came on wheels, were pullable, or had a functional drum. These guys checked all the boxes.
5. Fisher-Price Paper on Wood Disney Mickey Band

Sold for: $1,900
This Fisher-Price classic hails from 1935 and harnesses that vintage Disney charm we all know and love. Kiddos could pull this toy behind them while Mickey Mouse drummed along. It was both a child’s dream and a parent’s noisy nightmare.
6. Fisher-Price Paper-on-Wood Wind-Up Jumbo Bak-Up

Sold for: $900
Another paper-on-wood Bak-Up toy, this elephant was made in 1931 and included a rope tail and a beaded lead off his trunk so that kids could hang on to him as he walked along.
7. Fisher-Price Donald and Donna Duck Toy

Sold for: $850
Made in 1937, this Fisher-Price toy is one of the brand’s rarest Disney options. Between the Donald and Donna (not to be confused with Daisy) ducks, there’s a functional xylophone. Kids could not only roll this toy, they could also make music with it.
8. Fisher-Price Hot Diggety Wind-Up Dancing Toy

Sold for: $800
One of the more obsolete Fisher-Price toys, Hot Diggety was a wind-up dancing doll with zero frills about him.
9. Fisher-Price Performing Penguins

Sold for: $750
Before “Happy Feet,” Fisher-Price rolled out their own paper-on-wood performing penguins. The penguins had moving feet and wheels to really dial in on kiddos’ imaginations for the kinds of moves these arctic birds could make.
10. Fisher-Price Woodsy-Wee Zoo

Sold for: $600
The Woodsy-Wee Zoo was a 1931 Fisher-Price toy that came with five rolling, pullable, colorful animals, including an elephant, giraffe, camel, bear, and lion. As one of the brand’s earliest toys, these sets (especially complete) are hard to come by almost 100 years later.
11. Fisher-Price Tricky Tommy

Sold for: $650
Made in 1936, Tricky Tommy was a cat push toy. Like all Fisher-Price favorites of the ’30s, he came with a musical instrument to make noise, too. This wooden kitty had functioning cymbals and a wooden stick so kids could join Tommy in the fun of causing a racket.
