CYLINDER MUSIC BOX WITH 3 BELLS
Plays 8 tunes
Swiss cylinder box of the late 19th century. The music is played on a
standard music comb. In addition there are three bells. Each bell has an
ornate striker in the form of a butterfly.
Dimensions are 1'6" high (lid open), 1'6" wide, and 11" deep. The
box plays but it needs redampering and some work on the gear train.
To compensate for this we offer it for a 5150 or more discount from
what comparable boxes usually bring. It is a relatively inexpensive way
to "try your hand" at music box repairing that you may have read
about if you have a copy of "The Cylinder Music Box Handbook," or
"Collecting Music Boxes and How to Repair Them." If you don't yet
have these books, see our books-for-sale section in this catalogue. Better
yet, on request we'll give you both books free with the purchase of this
box! $299.00 (Stock 1\0. CYL-2404)
