THIS TIME YOU ARE BIDDING ON A MAHOGANY MUSIC BOX BY AN UNKNOWN MAKER. BUT BY THE NUMBER ON THE SONG SHEET AND MOVEMENT HE MUST HAVE BEEN VERY WELL KNOWN.
IT PLAYS 6 AIRS AND HAS VERY FINE TEETH ON A 9" INCH BARREL AND COMB.
THE CASE MEASURES 15" WIDE BY 6" DEEP AND 4" HIGH. AND UNLIKE ANY OTHER MUSIC BOX I HAVE EVER OWNED, INSTEAD OF A PULL UP LID OVER THE MOVEMENT. IS HAS A SLIDE OUT GLASS AS YOU CAN SEE IN MY MANY PHOTOS.THE MUSIC BOX SERIAL NUMBER AS YOU CAN SEE IS ON THE MOVEMENT AND ALSO ON THE BOTTOM OF THE CASE NUMBER 21727.
BOX, IN GOOD CONDITION FOR IT'S AGE AND HAS BEEN CLEANED AND
SERVICED. AND DATES TO THE 1800s. I HAVE OWNED HUNDREDS OF MUSIC
BOXES OVER THE LAST 50 YEARS. BUT WITHOUT DOUBT, THIS IS ONE OF THE
BEST SOUNDING ONES. AS YOU WILL SEE AND HERE ON MY VIDEO."BUT DUE
TO ONLY HAVING ONLY A MINUET TO MAKE ONE IT'S NOT LONG ENOUGH" IT IS
ALL ORIGINAL THE LAST OWNER KEPT VERY WELL. AND AS YOU CAN SEE.
IS IN
GOOD
SHAPE FOR ITS AGE.AND ALSO COME WITH ORIGINAL WINDING AND LOCKING KEYS. AS YOU CAN SEE IN MY MANY PHOTO'S.
AND IS QUITE HEAVY. NOT LIKE THE NEWER ONES. IN THE 1800s THEY MADE THEM TO LAST. I KNOW BEING 88 MYSELF.
IT IS A UNIQUE MUSIC BOX, AND AS YOU WILL SEE AND HEAR ON MY VIDEO. BUT LIKE I SAID NOW I USED TO PLAY 2 OR THREE TUNES VIA YOU-TUBE IN THE PAST. BUT E-BAY ONLY ALLOW YOU A MINUTE, WHICH IS EASY-ER TO LIST, BUT I PREFER TO PLAY MORE TUNES, TO GIVE YOU LONGER TO IT CHANGE AIRS ETC. ALSO AS YOU CAN SEE IN MY MANY PHOTOS. THERE ARE THREE LEVERS ON THE LEFT OF THE BOX. THE ONE AT THE BACK IS TO MOVE IT TO THE NEXT TUNE. AND THE MIDDLE ONE TURNS ON AND OFF AT THE END OF THE TUNE. AND THE ONE IN THE FRONT TURNS IT ON AND REPEATS THE SAME TUNE.THAT YOU ARE PLAYING. SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK AND I WILL TRY TO ANSWER. AND PLEASE CHECK OUT MY MANY OTHER ITEMS.
"AND ALWAYS REMEMBER AT A LOCAL AUCTION YOU PAY COMMISSION.
