Vintage 1960s Kitch Oversea Hong Kong Lighting church musicbox working just
Vintage plastic church with spire, music box with lighting made in Hong Kong, mid 20th century by “Oversea” Hong Kong A beautifully designed and fun item probably made originally with Christmas toys in mind, it still plays silent night, and lights up too with a lot of fiddling around (the on off switch needs TLC and takes a lot of fiddling for it to come on and stay on; also the simple bulb mechanism just sits on top of the battery and this can be fiddly too but it is just the design) It is a very delicate 60-year-old fragile plastic decoration/toy and it is amazing how it’s survived in our family in such good condition, although it is time worn and needing a little TLC. It has mock stained glass windows all around in its ornate window frames, these are simply made from clear plastic with paint and one on the west side will need reattaching. There was a cross attached originally and I recently misplaced it but I will happily send this on when I find it. Being such a small item it may be quite hard to find! Mean time I’m sure something else could be made to substitute. There’s a little handle on the back which one winds for the music, and it clearly plays Silent Night. There is an access door just above this knob for changing the lightbulb and accessing the inside of the church. The church stands just over a foot tall even without the cross. So it’s a substantial size. It would be perfect for lighting up a child’s Christmas, for church events, or equally suitable for TV and film props from this time.
