This metal souvenir music box that plays Ave Maria, from Lourdes France, is marked: Lourdes / Seral-Lourdes / Made in France.
Lourdes is a small market town lying in the foothills of the Pyrenees, in south-western France.
Famous for the Marian apparitions of Our Lady of Lourdes that are reported to have occurred in 1858 to Bernadette Soubirous.
Following the reports that Our Lady of Lourdes had appeared to Bernadette Soubirous on a total of eighteen occasions, Lourdes has developed into a major place of Roman Catholic pilgrimage and of alleged miraculous healings. The 150th Jubilee of the first apparition took place on 11 February 2008 with an outdoor mass attended by approximately 45,000 pilgrims.
Today Lourdes has a population of around 15,000 but is able to take in some 5,000,000 pilgrims and tourists every season.
I'm not sure what type of metal it is made from.
In very good condition it does have nicks from years of use which I have shown in my pictures, it still plays beautifully and it measures 4 5/8 inches tall, 3 inches wide and 2 1/4 inches deep.
An addition to any Music Box Collection.
SH & Ins. will be quoted after orders placed. If you have questions feel free to contact me and thank you for looking. |
