Dept 56 The Original Snow Village It's Time For An Icy Treat #55013 New

This is old store stock. It was never displayed in the Gift Shop nor ever sold to a customer. It has been in storage since at least 2008 - probably longer (as they put the last of their items from the closed shops in storage in 2008 - many items were already in storage when they closed the stores). Over the next year (2017-2018) or longer we will be listing thousands of Dept 56 Village items. Some of the items are:

       -Brand New with Perfect or near Perfect Original Packaging

       -New with Minimal Wear or a Minor Flaw to the Packaging such as a faint water stain or have crinkled corners or dimples, a very small amount of yellow age spots may be present or starting

       -New - No Sleeve or Heavily Flawed Sleeve (for example; yellow age spots, tears, water damaged/stained, crushed corners)

       -Some were just outright Used - Store Displayed

Often, we have the same piece with various different conditions. Obviously the more issues with a piece, the cheaper the price will be!  Should you need quantity of an item---we may have it available-let us know. 

As these pieces tend to be older (15-30 years old on average), occasionally factory glue has yellowed and can become noticeable at connection points over the years. Also keep in mind, as most of the pieces are hand painted ceramic built in sections, individual nuances do occur such as being able to see the brush strokes or a missed corner being painted. We do check every piece and try to describe each as accurately as possible but we may miss some due to the shear volume we are looking at!

If you are looking for something specific that you need immediately - let us know - we may have it and can get it listed. A lot of things we know we have but can not get to them as we are jammed packed full!!!  Thank you for looking!
