NBC / General Electric / Rockefeller Center:


Quick History: This is listed as NBC first sense it has the NBC logo on the bottom of the village piece.  The Rockefeller Center was completely opened in 1939.  It is still opened as of December of 2021.

Side note:

This is an extremely rare piece to have.  I only found out about this piece due to village expert , Shelly Neisen, bringing it to my attention.  This piece sold on ebay on 12/25/2021 for a total price of $299.00 plus 25.34 shipping.  I copied the following from this village from the listing on ebay that stated the following from the ebay seller of wjopke:

"This auction is for a porcelain Rockefeller General Electric NBC building Christmas building.  The building and box look to be in Like-New condition with very little use.  This item appears to have been produced only once.  There is no indicator on the porcelain nor the box.  I received this piece from an auction of many Department 56 buildings from the personal collection of Neilan Lund.  Neilan was an early designer of Christmas porcelain buildings for Department 56.  I suspect that Neilan designed this building but which Department 56 decided to not produce."
