Up for sale is an antique Swiss cylinder music box. This one is large and heavy. This music box has an inlaid top, the original paper song label (plays 8 songs), and a cylinder with bell overtone movement. The hammers that hit the bells are in the shape of either butterflies or some sort of colorful insect. The cylinder music box played when wound. It appears that all teeth are present. The notes associated with this box indicated that the lid had gone through a repair. It also said that the a new spring had been placed in the barrel in 2018. The skeleton key to lock the lid is not present, but it is not really an issue as none of the music boxes that we have found have them. We are not sure who the maker is. The top of the label says Bells and the number 44256 is written on the right. We inherited this piece from a late relative that specialized in clocks and clock related restoration. We ourselves are not experts and so accuracy and precision is not guaranteed. Please see photos for details and feel free to message with any questions. 17 x 11 x 8.5 inches.
