The centerpiece for your collection!! This vintage Railway Station Musical Box was crafted in Switzerland by Reuge. It is a replica of the coin-operated music boxes that were found in Swiss railway stations starting in the late 1870’s and thru the turn of the century. Reuge has been in the music box industry for 180 years, and this is a wonderful nod to the history of music boxes. This particular box was made in 1993 and hand signed. The wood cabinet was crafted from burled walnut in the traditional Victorian style. The doll is also dressed in Victorian attire and features a bean face like dolls from years ago. Drop a coin into the slot to begin the show! Once a coin is inserted (such as a quarter) the outstanding, world-class Reuge 3/72 movement comes to life. While the music plays, a lovely Victorian dancer bounces and twirls. Listen with the door closed, or open it up for a more bold sound. The musical movement is clean and shiny and it looks great. It is in full display thanks to the vertical orientation. The mechanism winds up smoothly and the sound quality is excellent thanks to the large, well-constructed box. It switches between the songs effortlessly. The music stops automatically at song end. The Reuge tune label is included. The key works and is included. This music box plays three classics from the masterful P. March of the Toy Soldiers. Waltz of the Flowers. Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy. The box is in excellent condition. It is structurally perfect. The wood finish is also terrific. There is one small scratch on the side by the crank. There is a small crack in the back, left corner of the top glass. Other than that, there are no issues to report. Please see the pictures for the issues described – and the beauty of this piece. The musical movement was inspected, cycled, and properly lubricated for years of use. The sound is rich and clear – A+ quality. There are no resonance issues (buzzes/chirps) that can occur in vintage boxes. Please see the video to enjoy this spectacular box! The box measures 13.25″ x 8.75″ x 18.75. My statements will be backed by quality pictures and a video.
