Condition:

Pre-owned, very good condition for its age (over 50 years old!).

Note: A tiny glue repair was made the dragons horn. 

The colors are still bright, the castle walls are clean with minimal scuffing, and the drawbridge mechanism works smoothly. Includes several original accessories and figures (see full list below). A fantastic display piece or addition to any vintage Fisher-Price collection.
