Swim Yellow Duck

Sir Mickey to the Rescue Carousel was introduced in 1995 and sold for $200.

Q. Do you carry this carousel?
A. No, we sold our collection on eBay, and new Enesco Musicals are no longer available for sale in retail stores or in Enesco catalogs. You have to search for them to find them and they are almost always pre-owned.

Q. D you happen to know if a 12 volt 1000 MA adaptor would work on the Sir Mickey to the Rescue Carousel?

A. Most of the musicals take 9V and 500mA. Some of the gigantic ones will take the 12volt 1000 MA adaptor. You could take it to an electronics store and see what fits. You can plug in a transformer too small, and it will not play because the plug is loose and doesn't make a connection. The outlet will not accept a transformer over the voltage because the hole will be too small for the plug.

Mystery Enesco Unicorn music box

Q. I'm looking for an Enesco figurine that has a base that looks like "It's a Par-Tea" #599980...but instead of mice, it has a unicorn and it plays "Music Box Dancer" as the tune. Do you know where I can find this figurine? I first had this figurine in 1985 and have been looking for it and have been unable to find it. I would appreciate any info.

A. I am not familiar with a musical of that description.

If anyone is familiar with the Enesco unicorn music box described, send us a photo and some info.
Thanks!

Mr. Christmas Roller Coaster Repair #79811

Q. Do you know someone in the Yonkers, NY, area that can fix the electronic 6v dc roller coaster. I believe the motor or circuit board burned out. Thanks!

A. I don't know of any repair facilities or anyone who specializes in repair.

Does anyone know of a repair center in Yonkers?

 

Enesco unknown musical
Q. Does anyone recognize this 1986 Enesco musical?

A. It's titled: "Sleeping Beauty Ballet."One like it sold on Etsy on May 2011 for a little over $50. It was made in Macao by Enesco Designed Giftware. It’s about 10 x 10 inches. It features a rabbit, a lion, a pig, and a swan. They all have saddles to give storybook rides to their imaginery riders.

The carousel's center post is angled with mirrors and there is a row of tiny light bulbs on the underside of the canopy top. The canopy is accented with animal art and a 3-dimensional mask image of Sleeping Beauty.

Enesco Mouse Picnic
This Enesco music box is ours. I was enjoying the charming scene of this mouse picnic one day and noticed that brother mouse on the picnic cloth was missing his body. Only his green trousers and tail are attached.
It's such a darling musical. The canopy sways back and forth overhead to the tune of "In the Good Old Summertime," while momma mouse reads to two attentive youngsters and three playful mice scamper around the brim. It's a perfect piece, trimmed in flowers and butterflies, with a doily canopy held in place by four hat pins, each with a unique design.
Another marvelous musical from Enesco! It originally sold for $179.95 in the gift store.
Q. I'm still looking for the missing mouse Top. Does anyone have this same Enesco musical?

"Top Billing for Santa"

Q. I have some vintage Top Billing for Santa for sale that have been in the boxes for 15 years. What would they be worth today?

A. One sold in 2008 for as low as $50, but I would think one MIB should have a value well over that and at least $100-$200.

 

Unknown Carousel
Q. Does anyone recognize this Enesco Musical? It looks similar to the "Sleeping Beauty Ballet," but this carousel has four horses where the "sleeping beauty ballet" has a pig, a swan, a rabbit and a lion.
A . It's called called "carousel waltz" after the tune it plays as the horses move up and down. Battery operated. Resin and metal, dating from 1990.
