Antique c. 1870 B. H. Abrahams Swiss Cylinder 8 Air 24 Note Wood Music Box Works
Abrahams Swiss Cylinder 8 Air 24 Note Wood Music Box Works. Measures 15″ long, 9 1/2″ wide, and 6 tall. Made by Barnett Henry Abrahams sometime after the late 1860’s in St. Croix, Switzerland but before the company moved to Vaud Jura in 1895. Great condition for its age. The music plays but could use a service as it has been sitting unused for many years. The box looks great but the hinges look to have been damaged at some point as shown. There are some minor scratches consistent with age across the wood. The glass covering the mechanism has some dried something on it at some parts. There are rubber feet on the bottom and one is missing making the box wobble. The locking pin is broken off as shown. Please refer to photos and video for complete condition.
