This music box is in great condition, it sounds great and plays the song "The Impossible Dream”. The box itself seems to be made of mahogany or walnut. There is a metal picture on the front which has the year 1976. Chicago landscape and the artist is Ke Nelson (thats what is signed anyway) and there is a number on it which is 212/500 so I am assuming it is limited edition. Pictures are best description of cosmetic condition.
