Vintage Fisher Price Fun-with-Food #2112 Pop-Top Can Opener Set  Comp/VG-VG +(H) (Rough Room)
Vintage Fisher Price Fun with Food #2112 Pop Top Can Opener Complete/VG-VG+ (H) (MORE PHOTOS BELOW)
 

Welcome to my ROUGH ROOM.  Here you will find toys that don't meet my exacting standards of VG+ and above.  I don't have the heart to throw them out since they still have a lot of play value left.  Items in my ROUGH ROOM are discounted from what I normally charge for the same item.  To keep the prices down, I do not spend any time Q-tip cleaning these items.  Therefore, it is up to the buyer to clean them on receipt.  I would consider this set to be in VG-VG+ condition.

 

Here is a mainstay of most American kitchens and one that little "cooks" can use in their imaginary play.  It's a Vintage Fisher Price Fun-with-Food #2112 Pop-Top Can Opener Set.  Manufactured between 1987-88, this ingenious device actually opens all of the round plastic food cans with flat lids that Fisher Price produced in conjunction with their wildly popular Fun-with-Food series. 

 

The set consists of a white, plastic can opener that when a can is placed on the opener's platform and the yellow lever is lowered, the blue suction cup attaches to the can's lid.  The child removes the can's lid by rotating the can on the platform.  The latter is accomplished by turning the blue knob on the back side of the can opener until the a "boing" sound is heard. The child then lifts the yellow lever and voila, the lid comes off. 

 

The front of the can opener features a knife sharper.  When the child inserts the accessory knife into the groove and moves it back and forth, it makes a realistic sharpener sound. 

 

Other components of this set include: a blue and white plate, a blue bowl, a white fork, blue knife, and five helpings of vegetables (e.g. carrots, corn and lima beans).  All of these pieces, with the exception of the vegetable can and can opener itself are in VG+-EXC+++ condition .  The can litho displays some fading along with some puckering.  The latter is not readily apparent when looking at the can; my photos make the puckering look worse than it really is.  Because of these "imperfections," I would categorize the can as being in VG+ condition.  Other than some light surface scratches and some scuffing, the can's orange lid is in VG++-EXC condition.  If you look carefully at my photos of the can opener, you will detect a couple of melt marks on the right rear edge of the piece.  The lower melt mark is the most prominent; the upper mark is much less severe.  The can opener also presents with some minor yellowing, due to age, around the bottom seam of the piece.  In general, I have lowered my overall rating of this set from VG++ to VG-VG+ because of these aforementioned "flaws."

 

Despite these "blemishes,"  the can opener and knife sharpener still work perfectly.  They certainly don't make toys this durable today.

 

This is a fascinating toy for young children.  It is child-activated and does not require any batteries.  Made in the U.S.A., this play set belies Fisher Price's reputation for durable, imaginative play toys.  This particular toy is @29 years young and still going strong.

 

This particular offering weighs 1 lb. UNWRAPPED.  My location is Lafayette, IN (47905).

Payment is expected within 5 days.  My preferred method of payment is PayPal.  However, I am amenable to either a Bank-issued Cashier's Check or a Postal Money Order.  Please contact me if you intend to pay by any other means besides PayPal.

The price listed is for the item itself.  The total amount due will be the purchase price of the item + the ACTUAL shipping cost to deliver your item to you.  All shipping costs or extra fees (in the case of Canadian shipments) are the responsibility of the buyer.  I will do everything in my power to find you the cheapest shipping rate---whether it's the USPS (First Class or Priority), Fed Ex, or UPS.  I DO NOT PAD MY SHIPPING COSTS---NEVER HAVE AND NEVER WILL!  I SHIP WITHIN 48 HOURS OF A CLEARED PAYMENT. 
 

I primarily utilize Fed Ex Home Delivery for items exceeding 5 lbs. in weight, measuring greater than 12 inches in any dimension, or traveling longer distances.  I've been finding Fed Ex has been running @33% cheaper than the USPS (including Parcel Post) and UPS Ground. 


In order to ship Fed Ex (or UPS for that matter), I MUST have a residential or work place address, NOT a P.O. Box number.  In addition, I must have a contact phone number (e.g. home, cell or work place).  Fed Ex will not accept the package for delivery without a contact phone number.


FYI, another benefit of using either Fed Ex  is that their quote includes up to $100 worth of FREE insurance.  Additional amounts of insurance may be purchased for a nominal fee (that is much less than the USPS).  Fed Ex also provides automated tracking updates re: your parcel's whereabouts directly to your personal e-mail account.


I pledge to find the cheapest shipping alternative possible for each and every one of my customers.  Any inadvertent shipping overcharges in excess of $1.00 will be refunded to the buyer via PayPal.  

 

U.S. domestic locations for boxes/padded envelopes weighing under 15 oz. will be shipped via First Class Mail; anything over 15 oz. needs to go Priority mail, Fed Ex, or UPS.


Packages going to Alaska or Hawaii will be shipped via Parcel Select.  Insurance will be required.


I'm more than happy to ship to our Canadian neighbors.  However, please do not ask me to falsify any of Custom's documents because I will not compromise my personal integrity to do so.  Also, please be advised that Canadian customers will be responsible for any brokerage fees, Custom's duties, or VAT's imposed by your government.  I am not responsible for these charges.  Insurance is required for all international shipments.
 

For individuals residing in Canada, I'm willing to send those items with a packed weight of less than 4 lbs. via First Class International.  Items weighing more than this will have to go Priority International. Please be advised that I cannot purchase or apply any insurance to packages traveling via First Class International to Canada.  Shipping using this service without insurance is at your own risk.


I'm more than willing to combine shipments into one box whenever it is safe to do so to decrease your shipping costs. PLEASE combine your purchases into your shopping cart before checking out. PLEASE DO NOT PAY FOR MULTIPLE PURCHASES SEPARATELY as this will incur multiple transaction fees/charges for me from PayPal and Bonanza.  Plus, it interferes with my ability to generate pre-printed labels via PayPal. Your purchases will be carefully packaged using an assortment of packing materials. Insurance is required for amounts over $50 as I cannot be responsible for what happens to your parcel once it leaves my hands.  


Last, but not least, I offer a 10% discount for orders totaling $125.00 or more.

 

ALL SALES ARE FINAL. NO RETURNS ARE ACCEPTED. I have attempted to bring any noted "imperfections" to your attention prior to your purchasing the item. However, I'm only human. If I have missed something or you have a problem with your purchase, please contact me prior to leaving feedback.
