Where can I get a Christmas candle mobile thingy?

When I was little my parents had a metal mobile candle contraption. My brothers and I were fascinated by it.Sadly my mum disposed of the original, she claims we broke it because we wouldn't leave it alone!

From what I remember there were four candles at the base, when they were lit the heat caused 4 brass angels floating above to move around a central arm. As they moved around they hit bells and cymbals so that it made a sound.

You are probably thinking "yuk" but I'd love to get one. I'm sure my dcs would be fascinated by it but I have never seen anything similar and can't even think what to google.

Does anyone know what I'm rambling on about?!

They're called 'Angel Chimes' and I've been looking for a set too. Does anyone know where I can get them?

Oh...how fab. We had one of these too when I was little...my parents still have it. Used to have it on the table for Christmas dinner and me and my sister loved it.
I am off to order one now...Christmas dinner has never been the same without that tinkling!!!Grin

I have one and loved it till I lost a piece. If you put the angels on wrong they go backwards Grin

I got one last year from Hawkins Bazaar that has a tea light holder and only cost a couple of quid.
