This vintage lot includes a variety of music box mechanisms, motors, and wind-up keys from the early 1900s to 1939. The lot is ideal for collectors and enthusiasts who want to restore or repair music boxes from that era. The brand is not specified, but there is a variety of featured refinements such as music box movements, keys, and parts. These belonged to a friend of mine whose uncle repaired old music boxes. What you see is what you get. Many in the lot and a lot of them make music still. 98 or so pieces total.

Zimbalist Music Box with Thorens Mechanisms. This extraordinary Chest is made of brass with nickel silver over lay by Fred Zimbalist. Inside the chest houses 8 Thorens 72 note mechanism made in Switzerland, playing 3 tunes each. Plays 24 classic tunes. The mechanisms have all been recently serviced and needs nothing. Zimbalist are all one of kind regarding the etchings. I have never seen this piece in my many years of dealing with Zimbalists very unique. Measure 28″ Wide by 16″ deep and 17 High. Large enough for a coffee table or an ottoman (coffee and cushion are not included). I was able to identify 18 of the tunes, that leaves 6 un-known. Minuet Waltz by Chopin. Till the End of Time. Aida Triumphal March by Verdi. Cavalier Rusticana by Mascagni. Thieving Magpie by Rossini. The Magic Flute by Mozart. Merry Widow Waltz by Lehar. Ode To Joy, Bethoven’s 9th. Clair de Lune by Debussy. Isle of capri by Bowlly & Liter. Return to Sorrento by De Curtis. Lara’s Theme from Dr. Blue Danube by Strauss. Blue Danube Waltz by Strauss. Brahms’ Lullaby by Brahms. The six un-known tunes consist of three marches and three operatic tunes. (To the best of my knowledge). If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me!
