Casper music boxes [new guest exhibits]
Music boxes are not as popular as they once were, but that did not stop United Silver & Cutlery Co. from making not one, not two, but six different music boxes with our friend Casper! It’s times like these that I am glad Tony Busan is as much of a completionist as I am, because here are all six exhibits, enjoy!

Casper Porcelain Light [new guest exhibit]
Another light-up porcelain decor item from Tony Busan today. This one is battery powered instead of using tea lights, and Tony says the lantern blinks! Very cute!

Porcelain Candle Lights [new guest exhibits]
Two exhibits for the price of one today! Of all the porcelain decor items Tony Busan sent me pictures of, I think these are my favorites! I believe they are more commonly called “votive holders”, but these spooky trees are designed to hold tea lights inside them to make them glow. Much like other items we have already seen, the same box was used for both trees. Thanks again Tony!

Richie Rich Letter Paper [new exhibit]

It’s been way too long since I posted a new exhibit. Let’s fix that right now by returning to Tony Busan‘s Casper contributions! Today we have a lighted house, marked as a night light on the box. Another variant exists, as shown on one of the sides of the box. The same box was used for both, and which one was inside was indicated by a check mark, as shown in the other picture. Thanks again Tony, and happy new year!

Casper Halloween Decoration [new guest exhibit]
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I am still a little sad that I am not at NorthEast Comic Con this weekend, but there is always next year. In the meantime, let’s get back to the guest exhibits from Tony Busan. Today we have a cute dome decoration featuring Casper with a scarecrow and a pumpkin.
