RARE VTG Peanuts Christmas Musical Revolving Tablepiece Kurt Adler San Francisco
Very rare vintage. Hand-crafted and painted, made by Kurt Adler, Inc. for The San Francisco Music Box Company.
Wind-up musical revolving tablepiece (plays \'Deck the Halls\') - the upper section with Linus rotates one direction while the lower section with Charlie Brown, Snoopy and Lucy rotates in the other direction - see video. The berries around the bottom of the upper section and the lights on the Christmas tree are supposed to light up as well, but unfortunately do not. We were unable to figure out why, as the battery compartment (2 AA batteries) is clean and absent of any corrosion, and the metal contacts between the upper section to the inside of the tablepiece appear clean. We suspect perhaps a loose wire inside - maybe someone brave can open it up to see (there are screws at the bottom of the tablepiece).
Otherwise the tablepiece is in great condition. There is no damage or paint chips to any of the figurines or objects. If you look very closely at the mirror on which Linus sits, there appears to be a crack underneath the piano; but it is very hard to see. Also, there is some dried glue residue here and there on the same mirror - that was clearly original with the tablepiece (see photos for both the cracks and dried glue).
Approx 6 3/4\" in diameter and 6\" tall. The tablepiece comes with the original box and inner styrofoam packing material! The box has some shelfwear.
