We recently acquired a large Department 56 village collection that was displayed seasonally for many years. The original owners stored all lighting cords separately rather than returning them to each individual box after each display season. As a result, this piece includes a genuine Department 56 cord that has been tested and verified to fit securely and illuminate the house properly, but it may not be the exact cord originally packaged with this specific building. A new bulb is included; however, bulbs are considered consumable items and cannot be guaranteed due to the delicate nature of the filament.

A highly desirable early Alpine Village piece that is increasingly difficult to find complete with its original box sleeve, Styrofoam insert, and hang tag. Please review all photos carefully for condition details. Ships securely with care.
