VITAGE CRECHE GARNIE MADE IN FRANCE W/ ORIGINAL BOX BOTTOM MICA SNOW VERY UNIQUE:
$74.99

VERY UNIQUE, WHAT APPEARS TO BE PAPER MACHE\' AND WOOD CRECHE THAT RESEMBLES A CAVE TYPE STRUCTURE WITH TREES AND MICA SNOW. THIS APPEARS TO BE FROM THE 1940\'S OR 50\'S BASED ON THE AGE OF THE ORIGINAL BOX BOTTOM. I BELIEVE IT IS FROM FRANCE. THE STRUCTURE RESEMBLES A CAVE AND HAS AN OPENING MOLDED INTO THE BACK WHICH COULD BE USED TO LIGHT THIS UNIQUE CRECHE FROM BEHIND. THIS IS A VERY NICE ITEM AND HOPEFULLY IT WILL FIND A HOME WHERE IT CAN BE DISPLAYED WITH SIMILAR CHRISTMAS ITEMS AFTER MANY YEARS IN CLIMATE CONTROLLED STORAGE. ONLY THE BOX BOTTOM IS AVAILABLE AS SHOWN IN THE PHOTOS BUT IT DID A GOOD JOB OF PROTECTING THE CRECHE AND FIGURES SHOWN. MARY, JOSEPH AND BABY JESUS ALONG WITH THREE SHEEP ARE THE ONLY FIGURES THAT WERE FOUND PACKED WITH THIS. THIS WILL BE VERY CAREFULLY WRAPPED AND SHIPPED IN A STURDY OUTER BOX FOR TRAVEL TO ITS NEW HOME.
