Item Name: Musical Gold Holy Family Water Globe / Snow Globe

Item Number: 68251

Song Played: "The First Noel" (Sankyo Musical Movement)

Features: Detailed gold resin Holy Family figures, ornate baroque cherub base, gold glitter flakes.

Condition Details:

• Visual Appearance: Gorgeous vintage condition. The water remains crisp and clear. The figures, glass dome, and detailed gold cherub base are structurally excellent with no chips, cracks, or severe fading. Displays beautifully.

• Musical Functionality NOTE: Please read carefully before purchasing. The Sankyo wind-up music mechanism is slipping/worn and does not play reliably.

**Potential Repair Options for Collectors:

Because this item uses a standard, widely manufactured Sankyo musical movement, restoration is highly possible. The issue may simply be a loose winding key that needs tightening, or a slipping spring that requires a drop of clock oil. Alternatively, the bottom plastic housing can be carefully opened to swap out the broken music box with a replacement 18-note Sankyo "The First Noel" mechanism, which are widely available online for under $10.

This piece is being sold strictly AS-IS for parts, mechanical restoration, or as a stunning, silent holiday display piece. Please see photos for exact condition.
