This box figurine features 4 adult kangaroos, 7 babies, and Noel Wiggins tucked in a pouch wearing one of his Harmony Ball ties. Noel wears dark sunglasses in most of the pieces and clear glasses in a small quantity (257). The mouse keeps a low profile tucked away to Noel’s right. The ubiquitous tin can litter appears again. The interior of Version 1 has a baby kangaroo sleeping with its teddy bear. The interior of Version 2 contains a pair of boxing gloves. Inscriptions include “MOB,” a generic term for kangaroos; “Blue Flier,” a female kangaroo with a blue grey coat; and “Boomer,” a male kangaroo. The inscription on the inside of the rim is a dedication to HK’s former Australian distributor, Henrik. The inscription “Griff’s Last Purr” around the base is a dedication to the Perry family cat, Griff, who died 22.7.97 at age 18. Hallmarks include ©, heart, HBC logo, ed.#, and Pc.
This piece is Version 2.
Although Harmony Kingdom is still manufactured at Wimberley Mills near Stroud in Gloucestershire, since Martin Perry, the founder retired in August 2005, marketing and shipping of the pieces is done from the USA office at Harmony Ball Company in Ohio. This means that we have to consolidate our orders before having them shipped to us. We are currently taking deliveries about every 3 weeks and so there may be a delay with your order if the piece is not already in stock. We will advise by email. Hope this doesn't cause a problem.
