the music movement not original to the case. This is a great sounding box with no broken teeth and good dampers. But it has lost it's display cover and dust boards inside the case. The tune change lever and start stop have been extended out the right side of the case, and the inside controls are absent. It was originally a Paillard box with "through the case retainer bolts", and those holes have been filled with sections of dowel. Has an extra strong double spring motor, and well made nickel plated 13" cylinder that plays an assortment of Waltzes, marches and arias. Despite its lack of originality, it will please someone to own this box. Width 23", ht 9"
