NIB Retro Cooking Toy WORKING Kitchen IDEAL Electric Food Center 1961 Never Used

Description

Item:
Retro Kitchen Toy
Important Note:
As someone who collects toys themselves, I know the important of a Original Box and if unopened...then even better.
BUT..
as a seller I have to protect myself as well.  When I got this in a larger collection I bought, the box had NOT been opened.  I had no choice though I felt to open the box to ensure that it is complete with no broken portions inside.  After all, this toy has been in storage for decades and out of my sight so I had no idea what to expect inside.  I did however stop after a inspection and I did NOT remove each item from the internal packaging, nor did I install batteries.  Everything you see is how I found it after I opened one end and slid out the packaged toy and took photographs.  So, I hope you understand why I had to open it and it is being sold "As-Is".
Description:
For Sale is a
Vintage
1961
"
Electric Food Center With Automatic Timer
" By
Ideal Toy Company
.
More specifically, this is
Ideal No. 4082-4
and it runs on (3) D Size Batteries.  Included is a instruction booklet as well.  So, to the best of my knowledge this toy is 100% Complete.  I am sure my photos will best further describe this item.
Condition:
On a scale of 1 - 10 (Ten being New in Package Only), I can confidently grade this item's condition to be a
solid 8.5.
Overall and Especially for being 50+ Years Old, this Collectible Toy is in
Very Good - Excellent ORIGINAL
Condition.  You'll notice that although NONE of the portions are damaged (Zero Cracks/Chips, etc), there has been some
light discoloration in some spots and some browning of areas that were factory glued.
The Exterior of the box has some sporadic punctures, scrapes, scuffs and dents but nothing extreme, just simple "shelf wear".  My photos are an accurate depiction of this item's
TRUE
Condition.
Important:
This Vintage 50+ Years Old is being
Sold AS-IS.
Unfortunately that means No Returns
unless
I was grossly negligent in my description and grading.   I cannot guarantee that electrically that the Ice Cream Maker, Mixer or Blender work perfectly.  It is being sold as a Collectible and I do feel confident that at least  90%  of possible buyers would not be considering this item to actually use as a toy.  I suggest that if someone was planning on using it as it was originally meant to be, that they purchase a newer one instead of a vintage collectible.
If you would like to see a video of this Collectible Toy "In Action", there are a couple videos on YouTube from past sellers in 2012 and 2016.
Toy Weighs 3.4 Pounds in Original Box.
