The Deck the Halls Unique Music Box
is approximately 3.5 inches long, 2¼ inches wide and 1 inch tall when the box is closed. When the Unique Christmas Gifts Music Box is open it is approximately 5.5 inches long. When the Deck the Halls Unique Music Box is wound it will play the much loved carol, Deck the Halls. The Collectible Santa Figurines animation is in a 2 by 2 inch section of the music box. The center scene is a Christmas tree. In the second ring of the music box five dancing couples rotate around the Christmas tree. The walls are painted like a grand ballroom. Against one wall is a band with a piano, two cellos and a horn. Against the other walls are people sitting on sofas or standing and watching the dancers. Even the outside cover of the box has a beautiful picture of a grand ballroom full of elegantly dressed people. Select to see a complete listing of our Christmas Decorations Ideas.

What is a Music Box?
The music box is a 19th century automatic musical instrument that produces sounds by the use of a set of pins placed on a revolving cylinder so as to strike the tuned teeth of a steel comb. They were developed from musical snuff boxes of the 18th century and called “Carillons a Musique.” Some of the more complex boxes also have tiny drum and small bells, in addition to the metal comb. Alec Templeton, an avid collector of music boxes and a professional concert musician, once noted that the tone of a musical box is unlike that of any musical instrument.

Coin Operated Music Boxes.
In Switzerland and the United States coin operated music boxes, usually capable of playing several tunes, were installed in train stations and amusement parks. Some of the models had a mechanism for automatically changing the metal disks. These were the precursors to jukeboxes. However, since they produced music instead of playing back any sound, including human voices singing, they soon disappeared from their intended venues, displaced by the jukebox.
Because most of the coin operated music boxes were built for rough treatment many of these large models have survived into the 21st century, despite their relatively low production quantities. They are eagerly sought by collectors who have the space for their large or very large cabinets. Check out our Christmas Figurines for the Holidays.
