THIS IS A REALLY NEAT 1880’S SWISS DISC MUSIC BOX. THE CARVED WOOD CASE IS WALNUT AND IT HAS A DECORATED TOP. THE CARVED WALNUT BOX HAS SOME WEAR TO THE FINISH, AND IT SITS ON 4 CARVED FEET. THE LID STAYS OPEN ON IT’S OWN, AND THE FRONT OF THE CASE HAS A BRASS SKELETON KEY LOCK. THE BOX DID NOT COME WITH A KEY. THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE MUSIC BOX HAS THE WINDING ARBOR FOR THE CRANK KEY, AND ON THE FRONT OF THE BOX IS A GILDED PUSH KNOB. WHEN THE MUSIC IS PLAYING THE KNOB WILL STOP THE NEXT SONG FROM PLAYING IF IT IS PULLED. (A SINGLE DISC PLAYS MULTIPLE SONGS). THE MASSIVE BARREL SPRING WINDS VERY SMOOTHLY WITH THE CRANK KEY. THE MUSIC SOUNDS AMAZING!!!! THERE ARE 2 CHIPS IN THE TEETH THAT ARE UNNOTICABLE, WHEN THE MUSIC PLAYS. THE GOVERNOR WHICH IS THE GEAR THAT SPINS RAPIDLY TO MAKE ALL OF THE OTHER GEARS ROTATE IS A LITTLE STICKY. SOMETIMES THE GOVERNOR NEEDS A FLICK OF THE FINGER TO GET IT GOING. THE 5TH PHOTO SHOWS THE FAST / SLOW LEVER IN SWISS AND IN GERMAN. THE BOTTOM OF THE CASE IS MARKED “SWITZERLAND”. THE BOX COMES WITH THE 8 DISC IN THE PHOTOS THAT PLAYS MULTIPLE SONGS.
