Vintage Napco Christmas Scene Rotating Musical Box

This is a vintage mid-century rotating musical box produced by Napco (National Potteries Co.) of Bedford, Ohio, manufactured in Japan, likely during the 1950s or 1960s. The piece features a winter-themed diorama mounted on a circular base decorated with a metallic geometric lattice pattern. The scene depicts two 'kitsch' style figures with stylized hand-painted facial features; one figure wears a blue hat and green coat, while the other is seated in a green sleigh with blue and white trim. Adjacent to the figures is a green bottle-brush tree and a tall, orb-like street lamp accented with gold tinsel trim. The base is surfaced with a white, glitter-dusted felt or flocking meant to simulate snow. Materials include molded plastic or composite for the figures, synthetic mohair-style hair, felt textiles, wire, and a mechanical music components. Notable condition issues include visible yellowing of the faux-fur/felt snow trim, light dust accumulation, and some fraying on the textile elements. The craftsmanship reflects typical Japanese assembly of the era, combining mass-produced components with hand-finished assembly and painting. The item would likely contain a mark or sticker on the underside corresponding to Napco's branding.
