THE  BEATLES

THE BEST OF THE BEATLES FRANKLIN MINT 

LIMITED EDITION (retired)

PORCELAIN MUSIC BOX COLLECTION.

THIS LISTING IS FOR THE 

"A HARD DAY'S NIGHT "

MUSIC BOX.

YOU TURN THE WEE WIDE UP HANDLE AND IT PLAYS THE SONG ABOVE!

(AT TIME OF LISTING I HAVE A FEW OTHERS IN THE SET!)

Each music box is a genuine Franklin Mint original, made of porcelain and officially licensed by Apple Corps - the manufacturer's name is printed on the base along with Apple's copyright text plus Beatles and Apple logos.

They come in a variety of shapes with the sizes of the boxes varying according to the shape. The circular boxes for example, are 2½” in diameter; the average depth is 1½”.
All are in full colour with a picture on the lid relevant to the song featured [Michelle has the 'Rubber Soul' cover image, Hey Jude a picture from the band's final photo session at Tittenhurst Park] and are trimmed in 22kt. gold with facsimile signatures around the sides. There is a key inside the box, which when wound plays the appropriate melody.

The titles in the collection are:

Please Please Me - Rectangular
I Want To Hold Your Hand - Rectangular
A Hard Day's Night - Oval
Help! - Octagonal
Yesterday - Circular
Michelle - Heart-Shaped
Strawberry Fields Forever - Oval

MINT CONDITION

(in 1993 when these were first issued they cost £38.00 thats 28 years ago so think how much they are worth now!)

HOPING THE PICTURES WILL DO THE REST OF THE DESCRIPTION.

PLEASE NOTE NEW OVERSEAS POSTAGE, PACKING AND HANDLING CHARGES.

Due to a few customers SAYING items have not arrived , been “lost” in postal services etc. and Ebays/Pay Pals insistence that they will only credit or believe the items have been sent, when the seller can provide a tracking number, I find myself with no other option than to start sending ALL My Beatles items out with the UK by Royal Mail’s premier International mailing service, I.e.

 “Royal Mail International Signed For".

 This service costs a MINIMUM of £5.30 ON TOP of the Royal Mail’s Airmail service , packaging and handling costs.

This service will provide me, the seller, with assurance that the item did arrive and the tracking number will be used to prove such. It however also provides you , the buyer, with Tracking (within the UK), insurance incase item does actually go missing , priority handling at all stages of it’s journey and signed for on delivery at your door.

N.B. Just one item going “missing” that I have to refund, cost me my profits for a considerable length of time.

 THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION AND UNDERSTANDING.

A FOOT NOTE FOR LESS EXPERIENCED or NEW BEATLES COLLECTORS;

JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE SELLING SOMETHING ON EBAY QUOTES THE WORD "RARE" 99 TIMES OUT OF A 100 THE ITEM IS NOT RARE, THE SELLER MERELY HOPES IT TO BE RARE AND BY USING THE WORD "RARE" HOPE TO SELL IT TO AN INEXPERIENCED COLLECTOR BY HOODWINKING THEM INTO BELIEVEING IT TO BE "RARE". TAKE MY WORD FOR IT I HAVE LISTED OVER 2000 BEATLES ITEMS ON EBAY SINCE I BEGAN TRADING HERE AND USED THE WORD "RARE" ONCE IN ALL THAT TIME. PLEASE DONT BE BELIEVING A BEATLES ITEM TO BE "RARE" JUST BECAUSE A LISTING USES THIS WORD. THE ITEMS THAT TRULY ARE HARD TO FIND DO NOT NEED TO HOODWINK PEOPLE BECAUSE GENUINE BEATLES TRADERS KNOW WHAT IS WHAT. IT IS REALLY BEGINING TO ANNOY ME THOUGH HOW MUCH PEOPLE ARE USING THE WORD "RARE" WHEN INDEED THE ITEM IS NO WHERE NEAR "RARE" "EXTREMELY RARE" "IMMPOSSIBLE TO FIND" ETC ETC.

THANK YOU AND KEEP THE BEATLES ALIVE!
