    Poppins is my favorite of all the Disney movies. My mom got this snow globe when my oldest boys where small and used to play it while they sat on her lap. I lost mom three years ago. My youngest son broke that globe tonight and it broke my heart. Seeing that item was not only sentimental, but also desired just makes it worse! There is no way I could afford to replace it. My dad is trying to save the music base and Cathedral, but sadly the birds have flown away......

    I am sure the globe could be fixed; a new glass dome filled with water reattached with the birds back in flight. Take it to a ceramics shop. Believe it can be fixed!

    There are a couple of professionals that I know of that repair water globes, including replacing glass globe, replication/repair of some objects, removal of air bubbles, cloudy water, etc. Think of it similar to an aquarium. The replacement cost of a globe is actually inexpensive. Here are two professional water globe technicians that repair and custom build snow/water globes. Robert@SnowGlobeRepair.com and the other is Heibel Craftworks 1-507-645-4571. I would leave the repair to a professional.I hope this helped.

    like all the others, it can be found once in awhile on ebay. Be prepared to pay well over $600.

    It'sd so sad for me, I remember it from the disney calatog- it was, I think, 45-65 dollars but we had just had our first child, bought our first home and I really wanted it, but couldn't justify the money spent on a snowglobe... now we could easily swing it and I can't get one.

    I have this globe. I am planning to sell it. The liquid is cloudy. Will I get a better price if I have it cleaned, or should I leave it as is?

    I am hoping to get an unreasonable price.

    Lengthy explanation:

    I have tea every week with a friend who collects music boxes. She has some music box snow globes, likes snow globe music boxes especially and was showing me a new one. I remarked that I didn't really care about snow globes but would love to have one that was like the one in 'Mary Poppins' and played the song.

    Two days later there it was, in a Goodwill thrift store. I bought it for five dollars.

    I wondered if maybe the liquid was supposed to be foggy. London foggy, like. So I looked it up and was shocked to find how big a deal this globe is among collectors, and how valuable.

    Recently some friends of mine who can't get/stay pregnant announced their intention to adopt a second baby. They're not rich but they're great, their son is having so much fun and is so loved. Any baby of theirs will be a rich baby. They are asking for help with the adoption fee costs (huge!) and I want to sell the globe for that.

    http://thekingfamilyco.blogspot.com/

    It's missing the wooden base bit. It plays the tune very well. Usually the quality of the music-box in these things isn't as good.

    Any advice as to how to get the best possible price would be appreciated.

    The good news is you only paid $5 for it and it should sell for more then that. The bad news is these don't sell for as much as they had been since the economic downturn. If you had the base i would say its worth getting the water changed out but since you don't it is incomplete and probably not worth the expense. Hard to say what kind of interest you will get on ebay since it does not have the base but that is still the place to try and sell it. Make sure you have Disney, Mary Poppins and snowglobe in the title. Good luck.

    Well, it's only about $20 to have the liquid changed. If I can't get a good sight more than that for it, I'll keep it.

    Any guesses as to its worth without that base?

  21. AnonymousOctober 1, 2011 at 7:17 AM

    I would hope you might still get a couple of hundred for it. I remember one selling that had terrible water and was half empty but it still sold for around 500 or so. Obviously someone was willing to restore it. The problem here is that without the base it cant be completely restored to a condition that someone will want to pay a huge amount for it.
    I didn't realize it was so inexpensive to have the liquid changed. If thats all it costs, by all means do it even if you do end up keeping it.

    I have this snowglobe and I've decided to put it up for auction on Ebay. The water was beginning to get cloudy so I'm having it professionally changed. There is also a spot of missing lacquer on the base that is being repaired as best as possible. If all goes well it should be up in 7 to 10 days. I hope it can find a new home for Christmas. No promises, because I won't put it up if it isn't "near perfect"

    Hello everyone, I have this snow globe and I am looking to sell it. The only thing is that the music box was wound to tightly so it doesn't work, although it should be an easy fix. the music box was removed from the item, but I still have it and everything is in great condition. If you are interested in purchasing this item, please email me at ohmijord@isu.edu and we can talk. I can email pictures as well. Thank you! - Jordan

    With a heavy heart I am needing to sell my Mary Poppins Commemorative snow globe with St. Paul's Cathedral and the song "Feed the Birds".
    It is in good/excellent condition. The song is clear and there are no cracks. It has the wooden stand with the brass plaque which I realized still has the protective plastic on it.
    Please email me if interested. I would be happy to submit photos of the snow globe by request.
    I will only accept PayPal.
