1982 Seymour Mann Bisque Porcelain Music Box

By z.harrington, 28 October, 2012
Description

I found this piece in a Goodwill store and thought I may be able to turn a small profit on it. I really don't know much about Seymour Mann stuff, but I have heard the name many times. It's a bisque porcelain figurine/music box, featuring two children building a snowman and putting the pipe in his mouth. The music box plays "White Christmas" and is in 100% working order. The piece has been really well taken care of, apparently left in a box for quite some time. There is no visible damage to the paint on the piece and no signs of physical damage, either. It is stamped on the bottom copyright MANN 1982. The box is in pretty good condition and is marked XMAS-246T. I have been able to find literally zero information about this piece online and there are none like it listen on eBay. Other Seymour Mann Christmas music boxes go anywhere from $10 to $50 on eBay. Any information I could get would incredibly helpful in helping me possibly sell this piece.
