No noted flaws to any pieces. Top of box is torn through (see photo). Excellent vintage condition! No broken or missing parts. Paint is in very good condition. See the photos for details. From my father’s Christmas collection. He loved Christmas and collected vintage and nostalgia pieces, with nativity sets among his favorites. Most of his active collecting was done in the mid-1980s, which is when I estimate he acquired this set. Complete set of original 12 pieces, #871. Hard plastic (celluloid?), with hand decorated painting and detail. Great colors. Beautiful expressive faces. Top box cover has original H.C. Prange retail sticker. Bottom of the box is in Good condition. Given the history of plastics manufacturing and overseas trade timelines of the mid-century, this set was likely made in British Hong Kong between 1952 and 1972, probably toward the earlier years of the range due to the pieces having been finished with paper bottoms. Bottom paper labels are excellent & clean, except Mary has a puncture on the bottom from storage. Art Plastics makers mark and HONG KONG on bottom or inside of every piece.
