- "Kasehandler Schmitt" Dept. 56 Item #56222. Introduced 2001 and retired 2003. With one quick glance, Alpine Village enthusiasts will see the German word Kasehandler tastefully translates to "Cheese Shop". The ornate Bavarian architecture includes a hanging cheese wheel sign and near the top a dairy cow keeps watch. On the sides you have a wheel barrow, milk cans, and cheese wheels. The Bavarian window flowerboxes are also quite evident. Mint condition piece in original box & sleeve.
