1989 San Francisco Music Box Jester Bear. Measures 8 1/2" in height. Very good condition. Works well. I do not know the song it plays.
This charming vintage 1989 San Francisco Music Box Company piece combines the nostalgia of a classic jack-in-the-box with the gentle motion of an animated musical figurine. Standing approximately 8 1/2" in height, the bear features a cheerful expression and a textured, golden-brown "fur" finish. When the music plays, the bear moves in a gentle, rhythmic fashion, adding a sense of life to the display. The box is expertly constructed with a sturdy base and features the hallmark attention to detail for which the San Francisco Music Box Company is known, including the metallic gold accents and authentic jingle bells on the jester's cap.
While the specific tune is unidentified, it plays a clear, melodic song typical of the high-quality Sankyo or similar musical movements utilized by the company during the late 1980s. This bear is a wonderful crossover collectible for those who love teddy bears, jesters, or mechanical music boxes. It makes a unique nursery accent, a whimsical addition to a shelf display, or a thoughtful gift for a collector of retired San Francisco Music Box pieces.
This item is vintage, over 35 years old. While it appears to be in very good condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw I would reach out prior to sending it.
