The Antique Pre-1900 Pepper Mill Music Box by Reuge Switzerland is a unique and charming piece that combines functionality with a lovely musical element. This handmade item features intricate details and grinder seems to be functional but the music box part has only been able to get it to do small short sounds and rarely. May have been over wound. Also one of the stabilizing feet has been bent in a small bit and I didn’t want to try to pull it out and risk further damage. With a pre-1900 time period of manufacture and if you can get it to work a charming French tune called “Tout va tres bien Madame la Marquise, ” this music box is sure to delight collectors and enthusiasts of decorative items.
