Candle Powered (Brass?) Angel Carousel

[Moonhead]

Not sure if this is the right section but here we go...As a child the sound of christmas to me was always the tinkling noise that came from a candle powered carousel that my Nan had.It was�made of brass I think, and had 4 angels above 4 candle holders. When the candles were lit, the heat from them would make the angels go round and round, creating a tinkling sound.For years my mother and I have been searching for one of these, or for something similar.My Nan bought it in the early 1950's. The only other place I've seen one, was in a christmas episode of The Darling Buds of May, Ma Larkin had one on her kitchen table!So my question is, does anyone know of anywhere where I could get one? I have searched the internet from top to bottom, been to every shop selling christmas decorations I can think of etc etc.I know it's a long shot, but any ideas would be much appreciated thank you.

Yes. I know exactly what you mean as I've been looking for them myself.

Haven't seen them in any high street shops but I think I just found them on the net.

 Try www.angel-chimes.com. Hope it's what you're after.

Stepaniel you are a STAR!!!
Unfortunately that link was dead, well it wouldnt work for me anyway, but it told me the name "Swedish Angel Chimes" so by putting this into Google I've found a site in London that still sells them: http://www.capitalgardens.co.uk/ So now I've ordered one for myself and one for my Mother and they should be here within 14 days :oD Thank you so much for your quick response - you've made my Christmas! Have a good one, and a Happy New Year Stepaniel.

A word of warning, My Mum has always had angel chimes on the table at Christmas time.

Because I have been brought up with them it doesn't bother me,

but they drive my Dad and my Husband Absolutely Mad with the constant ting

 ting ting ting ting ting ting ting ting ting ting.
