Nostalgic San Francisco Cable Car Travel Keepsake Sneeuwbol

Capture the magic of the City by the Bay with this customizable San Francisco cable-car snow globe. Add your name, special date or message on the back for a one-of-a-kind keepsake. Sparkling “snow” dances around the classic streetcar scene—perfect for gifts, desk décor or a touch of San Fran charm at home. Introduced in 1873 by Andrew Smith Hallidie to conquer San Francisco’s steep hills, cable cars once ran on over twenty lines before electric streetcars took over. Thanks to citizen activism, three routes survived a 1947 shutdown and were declared a National Historic Landmark in 1964—today the Powell-Hyde, Powell-Mason and California lines remain the world’s last manually operated cable car system and an enduring symbol of the city.
