TOM & JERRY (MGM) tambourine

This is a 4" red plastic tambourine with a white top and metal tympani moving parts. The white top has facial images of Jerry, Tom, and Tuffy. This item is in mint, unused condition and it remains sealed inside of its original clear-plastic blisterpack and mounted on its original cardboard mounting card. The mounting card has fun, colorful graphics showing Jerry and Tuffy in the yard, happily watching Tom play with his very own Tom and Jerry tambourine. The blisterpack has some side crinkling and part of it has loosened from the mounting card due to drying-out of the original glue. But it remains intact and in place. This item was manufactured by Ja-Ru in 1984.
