This is a rare 19th century Swiss Cylinder music box in fine working condition. The crank and both switches (Change/Repeat & Stop/Play) both work though at times I need to slide cylinder to the left, it springs back and starts playing. All teeth are present. It is approximately 14″ long, 4 3/4″ high, 7 deep (CM: 35x18x12). The box top has some issues. Some banding inlay is missing. It has a gouge on left margin. It has some other scratches. The front has some minor scratches & paint. The sides and back are good. It contains 8 airs/songs. Also 4 1/2 Pouces which I believe refers to cylinder size. It is serial number 25093.
