A teal blue lacquered music box from Enesco's Currier & Ives collection, its lid decorated with the "American Express Train" lithograph from 1864 — open it, and a Sankyo musical movement plays Swan Lake.
Maker: Enesco
Materials: Wood, teal blue lacquer, blue velvet lining; Sankyo musical movement (Japan)
Condition: Very good vintage condition. Minor surface scratches on lacquer; small glue residue mark on interior corner (photographed). Music plays beautifully. Please review photos closely before purchasing, as all sales are final.
This box features a wind-up key on the base, four rounded feet, and a rich blue velvet-lined interior — practical details alongside the collectible lithograph on the lid.
For a train collector, a Currier & Ives enthusiast, or a father who deserves something more considered than a gift card.
Currier & Ives were the great chroniclers of 19th-century American life — their lithographs of trains, winter scenes, and rural landscapes became some of the most widely reproduced images in American history. Enesco translated that legacy into a series of beautifully made collectible boxes decades later, this one reproducing the 1864 "American Express Train" print.
