Page 1: Museum Highlights Many plastic pianos are for children's toys or dollhouses. Some are trinket boxes or banks. |
Pianos in my collection:
On the left is a plastic spinet piano bank that measures 4 7/8" across by 3 1/4" high and 2" from front to back. The front of the piano says "Winter" and the coin slot is in the back. The keyboard is a paper decal. On the right is an old marbleized hard plastic dollhouse grand piano. It has a music stand and a paper keyboard and measures 2 1/4" across by 2 1/2" high. |
The piano on the left is made of clear plastic. The legs are removable and the keyboard is sculptured. The lid opens for storage, and I keep beads inside for decoration. It measures 4 1/2" across by 5 1/2" high. On the right is a plastic cream-colored piano. It is a solid piece and measures 2 1/4" across by 3" high. |
This goldtone piano trinket box was made in Hong Kong. It measures 5 3/4" long, 2 3/4" high, and 3 3/4" across. It has several compartments inside. This piano is for sale in the MiniPianos.com Gift Shop! |
These little pianos are made out of plastic and are still in their original packaging. They measure 2" across by 1 1/4" high. The picture on the bag shows an old-fashioned Mickey and Minnie Mouse. |
This is a Wurlitzer organ bank that probably dates from the 1960s. It is about 5" high, 5 1/2" across, and 3" deep. The keyboards are paper decals. This piano is for sale in the MiniPianos.com Gift Shop! |

These dollhouse pianos and benches are made by Renwal. The pianos are 2 1/4" high, 3 1/8" across, and 3 5/8" long. The bench is 1 1/4" high, 2" long, and 7/8" across. |
On the left is a black and gold plastic piano trinket box. The lid opens and the legs are removable. It has a three-dimensional keyboard and measures 3 1/4" across by 2 1/2" high. On the right is a console piano bank premium from the Wurlitzer Piano Co. circa the 1950s. The bank is 5 1/2" across by 3 1/2" high by 2 1/4" deep. It might have been a salesman's sample. |
Here is a unique pink marbleized lucite piano with matching bench that measures 9" across by 8" deep by 4" high. The piano opens up and has a white curved prop stick. This piece is probably from the 1960s. |
This is a Strawberry Shortcake piano. The entire keyboard is depressable. The back is stamped "© American Greetings Corp. 1983" and also says it is a Kenner product made in Hong Kong. This piano is 2 3/4" across by 2" high. The piano with the doll on top shows the set together. It is Strawberry Shortcake's friend Café Ole with her pet Burrito and her piano. |
Here is a pair of Barbie pianos. The lids open and close, along with the music stands and the keyboard covers. The black one on the left is marked ©1989 Mattel. The grand piano on the right stands about 5" high. The piano is white with pink accents and has a sticker on the top that says Barbie. It comes with a replica of sheet music, a bench, a silver trophy, a box with roses on the front, and a portrait of Barbie. |
