Beautiful vintage Christmas music box from the Erzgebirge region in former East Germany, handcrafted and likely produced in the 1970s–1980s.
The exact maker is unknown, but the traditional Erzgebirge look is unmistakable: trees, tiny animals, snow elements and a classic Santa figure.
The music box is wound up from the bottom and plays “Jingle Bells.”
A stopper allows you to start or pause the melody. While the music plays, the turntable rotates smoothly.
The piece is in very good used condition without any damage.
The original box is no longer present.
