Antique Regina Music box with a double comb in a serpentine cabinet. Manufactured in the 1890’s by The Regina Company. The cabinet measures 20″ wide by 21″ deep by 13 tall. The short bedplate Regina music box was a late development marking the apex of Regina sound. These machines incorporated a bedplate half the width of the case, and a second upper sounding board. The result was a brilliant spectacular musical experience, even in comparison to earlier Regina models. Short bedplate machines are always double comb, and because of their superlative sound always command a premium among music box connoisseurs. The serpentine oak case has been nicely refinished. The combs are nice and clean, the leads show no oxidation, and the dampers are in regulation. Everything runs and sounds exactly as it is supposed to. Names of discs included.

I have up for sale a lovely antique circa 1890s to early 1900s Quarter Sawn Oak Raised Panel Regina Music Box Stand / Disc Storage Cabinet. I would suppose you could use it for any make of music box but it was most likely made for a Regina table top music box. This is a lovely hard to find piece – not something that you will run into very often. The cabinet stands approx 33″ tall, and the top is approx 22-1/2″ square including the molding, its approx 21-1/4 square flat surface for sitting your machine. The piece is estate fresh, came from the estate of an old advanced collector. I took it to a friend that secured the bottom section so that it was stable and I wiped it down with an oily rag, other than that its as found. It has some character but is in pretty decent shape. I noted that one piece has to be glued, read my condition report and view the last pic – you will notice what I was referring to. There are some nails on the top and some splits to the wood. This is an old piece and has imperfections as noted in the condition report and that you can see from my pics. If more pics are needed just message me. I no longer have a hauler that I can recommend and suggest that you contact UShip for blanket wrap hauler services. This item is in the category “Antiques\Furniture\Cabinets & Cupboards”. The seller is “whyworka” and is located in this country: US. This item can be shipped to United States.

A tall, imposing, and extremely scarce Jean Fanis upright coin-operated, automatic (barrel) piano; complete, but not playing, for restoration. We cannot find an entry in any reference work for this machine; (so, if you have knowledge of this specific machine, please advise). Quarter sawn oak cabinet measures 81″ in height X 57″ wide X 36 depth; cabinet appears to be original rich finish. Heavy machine, on original heavy casters. Original, huge, spring-drive iron-cased motor, piano components, barrel, crank, coin slot, lighting fixtures (and frayed internal wiring) and maker’s original brass name plate. Top pediment lifts off. We have no keys for the locks. The glass bead drapery shades for the double brass electric sconces are fraying. No bulbs or shades for the two standing electric decorative brass lights at front. There are three glass reverse painted front panels — the center arched panel has old partly repaired cracks, and one small triangle of missing glass. The two dancing girls to left an right are also reverse painted and intact. The interior is very dusty and dirty, but appears complete. We can locate no information on this Jean Fanis coin operated piano — and we have tried! For restoration (although it is impressive standing silent). See photos; and, if additional photos needed, just ask. We did not move the machine from the wall to take back panel pictures, but back is complete. We have labor to assist in moving the machine from the building and loading it. NOTE: We added three interior photos per request. The motor, which is intact, is located beneath the coin slot end of the barrel. The machine is against the wall and VERY difficult for one person to move, so lifted the crown pediment and shot these photos from a ladder, looking down into the interior of the machine. Hope these photos are helpful. The machine has been unused for decades and is dusty, as revealed by the photos. Please communicate with us, if interested. This item is in the category “Collectibles\Decorative Collectibles\Music Boxes”. The seller is “2curios” and is located in this country: US. This item can be shipped to United States.
