1950 "MUSIC BOX & CHRISTMAS POST CARD WHICH PLAYS JINGLE BELLS

Description: Christmas Card attached to music box. Santa Claus on front playing cello, a Merry Christmas message, music box not functional, good condition Item 484042 ◊ 1950 "Music Box Post Card" Which Plays Jingle Bells, but is Non-functional Original and moving "1950 'Music Box Post Card' Which Plays Jingle Bells but is Non-functional," from Baker Music Box Cards. The outer box measures 6" x 5" x 3/4". So I'm a child of the 50's and I've never seen anything like this before. It is a Christmas Card attached to a music box sent through the Post … the mail, therefore it is a Post Card. But not the type we usually think of as a postcard. The card shows Santa Claus on the front, playing a cello, and also has the message "Merry Christmas to you." The card sits on top of the music box, and opens up to show the sheet music for "Jingle Bells." Also there is a message inside. Plus as an added feature the sender of this card taped her photo into the card. It looks a bit like my mother who was 18 years old in 1950. This amazing music box on the back of the 1950's Christmas Card apparently doesn't work anymore. It used to play "Jungle Bells," but no longer. The box is unposted, though it is address to a Mr. David Motz in Pennsylvania. It's interesting that in 1950 it only took a 5¢ stamp to mail it. The whole combo - the shipping box, and the card & music box are all in very good condition. The original owner made no attempt to preserve the outer box, so the tabs were torn when the box was opened, and there is some wear to the box. The inner card however is still very bright and vibrant, with no wear, except some damage to the lower corner. The inside of the card is likewise clean, though slightly brown from age. The back … of the music box is also in very good condition. Please see the photos above to get a better idea of what this auction offers and the condition of the box, card and music box. Rare and darling, this "1950 "Music Box Post Card" Which Plays Jingle Bells but is Non-functional" would be a fantastic addition for any musical or postcard Christmas collection. ------------------ Be sure to check out our additional listings for a number of Christmas items, and other antiques being offered for sale this week by PENchantiques on eBay!!!081624-Ns OUR POLICIES COMMUNICATION: We want you to be happy with your transaction, and GOOD COMMUNICATION is the key to YOUR HAPPINESS.
