The lady they bought it from said her kids played with it in the late 60's. She brought it along when they came over today and I did some research. It was made by Child Guidance and was called "Type A Tune". There were song sheets you put through the "typewriter" part and that instructed the child what keys to play in order to play a song. I found an old scanned in newspaper ad from 1967 with it for sale for Christmas at Ben Franklin for $3.33. You can check it out here:

This is far from dd's first yard sale purchase but it's her first vintage find I think.
Happy treasure hunting!
