This was in the same packing container as my nativity spinner. I find I can still order it from Miles Kimball. . . which makes me think my first mother-in-law gave it to me as she ordered there a lot. It is not the kind of thing she would buy, though.
I have absolutely NO memory of this at all.
It comes with three circus ponies and a clown for the top if you get tired of the angels.
I am missing two of the three strikers for the angels to hit the bells with. I suspect if I dig in the packing peanuts a bit at a time they will be in the container. I will get different storage options for the future.I believe I have bubble wrap, which is much less messy.
By the first of next week I should have candles here for both the chimes and the nativity.

This makes it easy. I think @RasmaSandra has one of these or had in the past.

Yes, it would be easy for the cats to disturb this. I think Pedro would like to cause that mischief.

@LadyDuck He particularly likes to bat his paws at things, even things that are not there.

@GardenGerty - Cats seem to love to throw objects on the floor.

Thanks. I was very minimalist, take it easy this year, and enjoy getting the spinners out.

@GardenGerty I wanted to get all my Christmas stuff out since son was coming, but I kind of ran out of steam.

How fun these are. I am a snow globe fan. One of the content creators resellers that I watch on YouTube found a huge one of these in a storage unit. It had some pieces missing but it was lovely. It was very busy and had places for small candles and the flame moved things around.

It is fun to watch. A good reason to light candles, too.

If not, it works okay with one, but three would be more balanced. I also can fashion some out of heavy gauge wire.

@DaddyEvil The strikers were not in the packing peanuts. I guess I will have to get to work.

@GardenGerty True, you could fashion something that works from heavy wire.

It's true that I'm the only one who has never seen something like that in my country. But it's interesting. If I had something like that, it would be fun. Especially when the electricity at home goes out, it would definitely be very useful.

Something like this would be calming, and cheerful if the electricity went out.

@Akutza90 I have lots of candles and oil lamps and flashlights with batteries. It is good to save on electricity.

@GardenGerty What makes you happier if the electricity goes out? Is it a cost saving? Haha, if that happens in my village, it is indeed appropriate for us who are still far from the modern era now.

If I do not, I can make the little rods out of heavy duty wire.

I did not expect to find it for sale, just looking for a picture to sell. It has to be between forty and fifty years old.

@GardenGerty I had mine in the early 1980's I believe. I looked it up and still a best seller.
