- Dept 56 "Obbie's Books & Latrinka's Candy" North Pole Series Item # 56243 Introduced in 1992 and retired in 1996. The tall, narrow book and toy shop contrasts sharply with the shorter, wider, candy shop. Both shops have steep pitched roofs. A bay window on Obbie's side wall plus a number of dormer windows reinforce the angular look of the shop. O and L monograms within wreaths are part of spelling out of N-O-R-T-H-P-O-L-E. Mint condition piece in original box & sleeve.
