Description from the seller
Vintage Mechanical Objects: Musical Tugboat Bar Set (Japan, 1950s/60s) & Enesco Toy Chest Music Box (1986)
Description:
A wonderful combined lot for enthusiasts of unique vintage mechanics, novelty barware, and nostalgic music boxes. This lot features two distinctive, beautifully detailed objects, both equipped with functional, built-in mechanical music boxes.
Object 1: Vintage Musical Tugboat Bar/Decanter Set (Japan)
A stunning and rare piece of novelty barware in the shape of a tugboat/ship, manufactured in Japan during the 1950s/1960s.
• Operation: Features a mechanical music box on the underside. Once wound, the music begins to play automatically when the glass decanter is lifted from its holder. Replacing the decanter causes the music to stop immediately.
• Completeness: Exceptionally, the set remains entirely complete, including the original decanter, glass stopper, and all 4 matching shot glasses.
• Condition: The mechanism works perfectly. The glassware is free of cracks or chips. One side rail (a decorative trim/component along the side) has come loose or detached, though this can be easily repaired by a handy collector. The chrome elements show minor, age-appropriate signs of wear. • Dimensions: 32 cm (length) x 10.5 cm (width) x 30 cm (height)
• Weight: 1188 grams
Object 2: Enesco "Toy Symphony" Treasure Chest Music Box (1986)
A nostalgic, animated music box from the renowned quality brand Enesco, released in 1986 as part of the sought-after "Small World of Music" collectible series.
• Operation: When the mechanism at the back is wound, the music box plays the classic melody "Toy Symphony." As it plays, various figures inside the chest—including a doll and a marionette—begin to move mechanically.
• Condition: The music box functions properly and plays the melody clearly. Cosmetically, the item is in very good vintage condition. The small monkey on the corner is currently not moving (it may have come loose internally, or it might be intended to remain stationary).
• Dimensions: 19.5 cm (height) x 19 cm (width) x 11 cm (depth)
• Weight: 627 grams
Will be packed with care and shipped promptly.
