overall good and as found condition. There is some damper noise, however all 110 +/- teeth are intact and the tunes are lively and clear. The founder of this firm, Francois Nicole, brought many refinements to the mechanical music box that improved the overall clarity and sound. For ref see "The Music Box", 1984, Graham Webb (page 20). Ht 5" Width 17 1/2" Comb 11"
