About the The San Francisco Music Box Company  ...

As original as the city they call home, the San Francisco Music Box Company opened its first store in San Francisco's Pier 39 in 1978. This tiny store (only 500 sq. ft.) quickly became a popular magnet for tourists and collectors generating phenomenal sales in its first year.

And while a lot has changed since 1978, one thing that has remained constant is our focus on musical gifts. Today they are the largest retailer of musical gifts in the world with a collection of almost 1,000 musical boxes and gifts ranging in price from $5 to several hundred dollars. Their staff works with talented artists around the globe to create one-of-a-kind musical treasures. Approximately 70% of the products are designed and produced exclusively by an in-house product development team.

Some of the most popular and cherished collectibles feature their licensee partners like Betty Boop™, Phantom of the Opera™, Classic Muppets™, and Raggedy Ann™ and Andy™.  They also carry pieces from several noted artists including Marjorie Sarnat with her "Cherish the Thought," "Crystal Visions® Collection" and "Sweet Inspirations" lines, and Matt and Matthew Danko who design Heart Tugs™ and Teddy Hugs™ figurines. The San Francisco Music Box Company is perhaps best known for its beautiful, heirloom-quality carousels. During the last 20 years they developed over 100 exclusive carousel pieces. Today millions of people are rediscovering that music boxes are enchanting collectibles and uniquely charming gifts. At the San Francisco Music Box Company, you'll find a team whose goal is to create memories that customers will cherish for a lifetime.
