Here is a massive antique Swiss cylinder 6 air music box in handsome inlaid wood cabinet ; plays 6 airs on 14.5 long cylinder with double combs complete without damage or broken teeth, having change, repeat, start and stop levers, with powerful ratchet wind spring motor and jeweled governor as pictured. Please see photos for condition. No makers marks found except for a small unidentified partial manufacturers logo, missing tune card. This is a massive instrument weighing more than 90 pounds unpacked and handsomely cased in inlaid rosewood cabinet with satin wood banding, floral spray on lid, bronze handles, with contrasting black japanned trim. Instrument measures 38 long, by 15 wide, 11 tall. The defects noted : cabinet lid is slightly cupped , lock mechanism is missing as well as tune card as mentioned, a few veneer repairs to lid, and a small corner separation at front right, not affecting structure; mechanically the movement plays only one tune and does not change tunes, and there is some noticeable damper buzzing during play. This is a wonderful music box project offered as is and as found, with faults noted. Please see my other auctions for many more music box discs, phonographs, and related items!
