| Place of origin |
vinyl moulded to represent a red strawberry standing on leaf shaped green feet with a pink handle and yellow knob
the body is red and dimpled as a strawberry; at the front is a window in which moves a painted scene showing the various characters of Strawberry Shortcake; it moves when the music plays
at the centre front is a large yellow knob with a smiling face representing the sun; when this is wound up a tune plays and the scene rotates
below the knob is a pink decal covered with plastic giving the name in red with green leaves on either side
to the right side is a yellow cogwheel which may have turned something but now seems only to make a rasping noise
the curved handle is scalloped and would be easy for a child to hold
the front and back are screwed together
