A LITTLE VINTAGE CHRISTMAS HISTORY
The Snow Buddies collection was produced by The Encore Group during the late 1990s and early 2000s. The Snowville name is particularly associated with Encore\'s resin novelty figurines from this period. Encore filed for the SNOWVILLE trademark in 1999 for novelty figurines made of plastic resin.
This charming train set makes a fun addition to a vintage Christmas collection, snowman display, Christmas village, mantel, shelf, or holiday tablescape.
A wonderful 1999 vintage Snow Buddies collectible for the Christmas decorator or collector!
