Title: 1960's Volkswagen Beetle Decanter - Music Box
Post by: splitwindowman on December 07, 2014, 05:13:33 PM
Very cool 1960's Volkswagen Beetle bar set / music box. This thing is huge - it measures 15" long and is heavy. All metal body with hinging roof that allows you access to a small decanter and 4 shot glasses. It's complete and not missing any pieces. The gold paint does have some scuffs and marks and there's a few small areas that have surface rust. All of the glass pieces are there but one of the shot glasses has a crack in it.
This thing was also a music box. There are decals on the bottom that say "Made in Japan" and "Around the world in 80 days". Unfortunately I think the mechanism has been over wound and no longer plays. You would normally turn the steering wheel to wind it up.
Great neat old collectible item. Asking $100
Located in Abbotsford.
Thx, Jason banana-split@shaw.ca

Hey Jason,
Try turning the steering wheel a bit harder?? I thought ours didn't work but the steering wheel just needed a hard turn the first time
