The centerpiece for your collection!! This vintage Railway Station Musical Box was crafted in Switzerland by Reuge. It is made in homage to 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 1996 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.

SWISS STATION MUSIC BOX. Three Dancing Dolls Six Bells Arabic & Butterfly Bell Strikers. As found in the waiting rooms of Swiss railway stations from the 1890’s to 1950’s, these music boxes were entertainment pieces, especially designed to keep the children fascinated and entertained. Their history shows that entrepreneurs such as Henri Vidoudez and Auguste Lasseur constructed these in their St. Croix workshops, using components supplied by the nearby music box makers, and then leased them to the railroad, maintaining their operation and sharing in the proceeds. This particular historical piece was recently restored by the Baud Museum workshop in L’Auberson, Switzerland, known to be the finest music box repair shop of it’s kind and in family ownership for generations. The workshop, formed by the renowned Baud Freres, specialized in music box restoration, especially of those made in the surrounding village of Ste. They established a museum as well, which to this day serves visitors from all over the world. The Swiss cylinder music box, made in Ste. 1890 sounds just great, playing eight tunes and displaying the original tune sheet. It is powered by a large spring motor, wound out the side by hand crank. The coin-op mechanism and coin chute are in working order. The overall case measurements are 24″ wide x 15″ deep x 25 high. There are three dancing dolls, engaged in a nice performance with every tune. These dolls actually pirouette on their feet, fascinating to watch up close. In the rear, striking the bells, are two Arabic figures, each striking two bells and tuning their heads from side to side as they accompany the music. There are also two butterflies striking the other two bells. A lot to see and hear! You and your family will enjoy this music box for generations to come! This will be packed and wood-crated. Only the best, safest packing materials are utilized. We are a leading world-wide dealer and specialist in mechanical music, clocks and phonographs and stand by what we sell 100%.
