a REAL Dark Shadows music box?

We have the hunk o' junk plastic version. But it plays the melody fine and soothes our troubled minds, reminding us of better days when vampires roamed the Earth.

This is my favorite post of all time

I've been "searching" on-line for that Jewelry/Music box top, I'll keep looking where ever I can and I'll let you know if I find it, you do the same and let me know if you find it. Cool?

Absolutely!

Well.........wait for it..........THE SEARCH IS ON!!!!!

Someone mentioned a small, silver music box that played the Josette theme that was seen on eBay a few years back. I think I might have the one in question. It's all silver, and it came in a purple box. It's about two inches tall, and probably three inches across the top, from left to right. I haven't played it in the longest time, but from what I remember, it plays the actual theme, or a very close version to it. It's a windup.

I don't remember what it cost back then, because I got it as a gift. I was pleased with it, but would've much rather had the original music box released when the show was still on the air in the 60s, but those are very hard to come by intact, and in good condition, for a reasonable price.

That was me that mentioned that. From what I recall, the seller on ebay was selling it for a couple of hundred...at least that's what I remember. I wonder how many of those music boxes they made. It's just lovely IMO...much better than the cheap plastic box of the original.

Right now one of the cheap plastic ones is on ebay and the bid is up to $77.00 dollars and it still has two days to go. With fans willing to pay that for a cheap plastic top you know we would pay a couple of hundred each for a real music box without blinking twice.

I looked and it's the one that was issued in 1970.  So which one are you looking for? The one that actually was used on th show?

Well I know that my parents didn't pay that much for the thing, it was probably more around $60. Are the ones you're talking about hand made? Because the one I have is definitely manufactured.

I want a real one like the one that was on the show. I have the plastic one.

 Was the music box on the show all that real?  They played music from a soundtrack, no?  Did someone make any besides the plastics?? I am so lost. LOL 

I pretty sure the music box on the original show was strictly a prop with the music being played from the sound booth. However, the one on the '91 series really played.

I'm not sure but your description of the box sounds like the one I saw a few years back on ebay.

The original music box was not real, however, a real one could be made based on the one on the show. The same thing could be done with the ring, the one on the show was fake but I real one could be made and sold.
