This early-to-mid-century music box is a classic beauty and is in great condition. It has been cleaned and serviced for another generation to enjoy. The burl wood is iconic. This FOUR-tune playlist celebrates popular romantic tunes originating from operas and theater in the 1920’s and 1930’s. Lift the lid to reveal the world-class 4/50 movement from the Swiss craftspeople of Thorens. You will see it is clean and shiny and it looks great. The mechanism winds up smoothly and functions perfectly. It switches between the songs effortlessly and automatically. The music starts and stops (at tune end) via the front slider. The original Thorens tune label is present. This music box plays four songs from early 20th-century operettas, musicals, or film operettas. They blend lush melodies with sentimental themes of love – in waltz or lyrical ballad style. The tunes are very popular in older Thorens playlists and are well-adapted to music boxes. The Student Prince in Heidelberg. Two Hearts in Waltz Time. The case is from Paul Margot (L’Auberson) and is in good vintage condition. It looks great on a shelf and it is structurally perfect. The finish is in good shape with minimal crazing. There are three dings on the front face. There is veneer loss on the front two corners and general light wear. Please see the pictures for the beauty and character of this piece. The musical movement was inspected, lightly cleaned, serviced, and cycled. The sound quality is EXCELLENT. It is rich and crisp. There are NO instances of resonance (squawks or buzzes) that can occur in vintage music boxes. These vintage Thorens box are LOUD thanks to the excellent construction. Please see the video and enjoy this wonderful box! The box measures 6-1/2″ x 3-3/4″ x 2-3/4. Over 80% of the boxes that I find have issues that need various fixes — from simple to complex. My statements will be backed by quality pictures and a FULL video. Service and Inspection Checklist. Clean and condition with wood polish/feed. Remove and clean the glass.
