on april 17 the company announced that the closure would become permanent, with production expected to resume overseas. in july 2020 lenox announced that they would permanently close all of their outlet and warehouse stores, also citing the covid-19 pandemic. in october 2020, lenox was acquired by private equity firm centre lane partners. maker's and/or other marks there is a variety of information on the ornament itself and on the box. over the door reads «2022» and «lenox®» in gold on the base. the box offers the following information. front reads the lenox laurel wreath in gold. box reverse reads lenox laurel wreath in gold lenox® [website] 1414 radcliffe street bristol pa 19007 ©lenox corporation not intended foe children under 12 years of age no esta destinado a niños menores de 12 años n'est pas destinè aux enfantes àgés de moins de 12 ans box base original sticker reads 2022 welcome home ornament 3.25 in (8.2 cm) sku#893713 1 943720 01986 6 made in china usd $50.00 dimensions from the surface on which it rests, it is 3⅞" tall. at the base from front to back it is ¾". you can view the second-to-last image to gain a sense of scale. condition this is new in box. i can find no issues. the fine print the images serve as the majority of the listing description, so take a look at them closely. shipping costs have really increased—this is calculated into the buy-it-now price. i really add a large amount of packaging to protect what i ship, so that will inherently add alot of weight already. and shipping prices increase greatly with minor increments in weight. i am not able to sell individual items from items i have listed as a group. i just don't have the stamina to create new listings for those. i apologize for that. i haven't initially individually listed items because i don't have enough listing slots to so. trying to downsize some, though extremely melancholically. shipping time: i otherwise work more than full time and my health isn't great, so kindly excuse the longer handling time. if i am able to ship sooner, i absolutely will do that. i appreciate you taking the time to view my listing.
