    RARE PARKER BROTHERS LITTLE COMPANION
    COOKING SCHOOL SET FOR LITTLE GIRLS
    Available for purchase is an EXTREMELY RARE child cook set made by Parker Brothers in Salem, Massachusetts. It's titled "Little Companion Cooking School For Little Girls". I believe this set dates from the 1930's, although the style of the graphics suggests that it may have been made a little earlier. Despite many hours of research, I can't find another single example of this set pictured or described online. It must be extremely scarce.
    The set includes a variety of aluminum pans, metal molds, and wooden handle utensils. It even has a wood cutting board. Please see the many photos I've provided that show all the contents. Since I can't find another set for comparison, I'm not sure if it's complete or may even has some extra utensils. The set does have an Arm & Hammer Washing Soda brochure with a copyright date of 1933, but I don't know if originally came with the set or not.
    The box for the set measures 15 3/4" x 7 1/2" x 2". The lid has some great graphics that show 2 young girls making cookies next to a bag of Gold Medal flour. The lower left corner has the number "478", which I presume to be the model number for the set. I purchased this child cook set at a recent estate sale. Some of the pieces in the set had small paper labels (which I removed) with handwritten numbers, suggesting that the set was once part of a museum collection.
    Condition of this Parker Brothers Cooking School set is VERY GOOD. The metal pieces have some discoloration spots. The measuring cup has some dents and a small split at the top rim. The box is complete but has some stains and tape repairs on the top lid (see photo). Overall, this collectible child play set looks fantastic and displays well. It would make a fine addition to any Parker Brothers collection. Please take a close look at the many photos I've provided and judge condition for yourself. I'm confident you'll be very pleased with this purchase.
    If you collect Parker Brothers items or child cook sets, don't miss your opportunity to bid on this offering. As I mentioned earlier, this set is VERY RARE and I can't find any documentation of its existence. My Buy It Now price of 5 is a bargain for this once in a lifetime buying opportunity. So buy this set now before someone else beats you to the deal!

    Payment is due immediately after purchase. E-bay policy limits sellers to only accepting electronic methods of payment (i.e. PayPal). If you have any questions regarding this policy, please let me know. Virginia residents will need to add 5.3% state sales tax to the final purchase price. E-bay has also started charging sales tax in many other states recently, something beyond my control.
    For international purchases, I accept Paypal only. The buyer is responsible for all customs fees. The declared value listed on the customs form will be the final selling price of the item. I will not list the item as a "gift" to avoid customs charges.
    If you're the lucky buyer of this Parker Brothers Cooking School set, it will come to you VERY carefully packaged via Parcel Select or Priority Mail (your choice). Shipping will be actual charges from zip code 22980 (packaged weight between 3 and 4 pounds). Please use the eBay shipping calculator to determine exact mailing cost to your location. International bidders will need to e-mail me for a shipping quote.
    E-bay no longer allows sellers to offer buyers the option of purchasing shipping insurance. I will insure this item at my own expense.
