We seem to either love mice, especially if they are called Mickey, or we hate mice and go to great lengths to exterminate them. Peter's box figurine incorporates both sentiments. Portrayed is a darling little mouse rescuing his friend from a mouse trap. Inscribed on the lid are two names. James Henry Atkinson patented the"Little Nipper" mouse trap in the U.K. in 1897. His device was likely based on the mouse trap invented by William C. Hooker in the U.S. in 1894. Carved within this box figurine is a boot, an integral part of the Mousetrap board game that Peter remembers from his childhood.

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 6 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.
