Catalog Description:

C.1880, Swiss, 12-Tune Music Box in generally good condition. This is a large box with 13" cylinder, playing 12 popular tunes of the era: 1) Over the Garden Wall, 2) Pinafore, 3) War Song of Glamorgan, 4) Black Sir Harry, 5) Rule Britainnia, 6) Hearts of Oak, 7) God Save the Queen, 8) The Union Jack, 9) Patience, 10) Poor Mary Anne, 11) Pirates of Penzance, and 12) Home Sweet Home. This box was restored around 15 years ago and 4 teeth and one tip were replaced and the dampers done. Gear teeth on the spring barrel will need restoration long term, but the box plays very nicely. The case retains original finish, and with inlay on the lid, a cigarette burn on the lid and other nicks and scrapes. Tune sheet dark, but fully legible. Width of box, 22"
