Department 56 Original Snow Village APOTHOCARY #50768

Department 56 Original Snow Village APOTHOCARY #50768. This is one of those very old ones before the villages got super popular. There is a chip near the light hole opening and scuff marks on the bottom. Introduced Dec 1986 Retired Dec 1990 Original Price $37.50 In the 1980s and '90s, my aunt and grandma were hardcore Department 56 fans—think VIP sales and latest releases. These little houses and accessories are in great shape —some might have a bit of dust, which I consider "vintage authenticity." When displayed, it was in a grandpa-crafted, enclosed wooden curio cabinet in an adult-only home (no sticky fingers, just obsessive organizing). Each piece comes with its original box (most boxes show signs of long-term attic negotiations), and everything you see in the photos is included. Many times I have multiple of the same item. Yes! I combine shipping! Just ask me before making the purchase, and once you've bought the items, I'll refund any extra shipping costs once you've received your items. Thanks so much for giving these treasures a new home — my grandma and aunt would be so tickled someone else is getting to enjoy these creatively crafted pieces of art. ⚠️ Friendly but firm PSA: Because of a few "creative" buyers, all my items are now discreetly marked and photographed. This helps prevent anyone from pulling the old "I'll return my broken one and keep yours" trick. Don't be that person — karma's faster than shipping these days.
