Have you ever been to San Francisco? Or maybe you just like to collect music boxes. Either way this little collectible will fit the bill for you at a very reasonable price. Up for auction is a vintage Hummel music box with pulll string, it is 3" wide x 3" tall x 1 1/2" deep. It has a gold cord that it hangs by, and a pull string to pull down to play the music, it is encased in a hard brown plastic box, the scene pictured is a Cable Car climbing Hill Street with the picturesque city of San Francisco, Alcatraz Island and the San Francisco bay pictured prominently in the background. When you pull the string, the song “I Left My Heart in San Francisco” plays. The music box itself is in excellent shape with no cracks, or chips. There appears to be a very small stain on the left hand side of the box, however the stain is so faint that I am unable to get a good picture of it. On the back of the music box in raised plastic text is the word "Japan".

I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California but I think San Francisco is the most beautiful city I've ever had the pleasure to visit. I got to spend an entire week in downtown while working about 10 years ago. The streetcars, the bay, the bridges everything about this very cool older city impressed me. Just yesterday I was treated to one of the best NFL playoff games in recent memory when the 49ers ended the New Orleans Saints season 36-32 giving San Francisco football fans their first playoff win since 2002.
